Press releases.

Entersekt, an innovative pioneer in transaction authentication, announced that Zurich, Switzerland-based Swisscard AECS has implemented its mobile application Transakt to enable safer, more user-friendly 3-D Secure protection of online purchases. Swisscard is a joint venture between Credit Suisse and American Express.

With EMV's continued expansion overseas and impending adoption in the US, fraudsters are turning away from scamming physical credit and debit cards and instead setting their sights on the card-not-present space online.

Online authentication innovator, Entersekt, has succeeded in certifying its Transakt software product as a FIDO Ready U2F token, meeting the requirements outlined by the Fast IDentity Online (FIDO) Alliance in its Universal Second Factor (U2F) specifications.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has awarded Entersekt, a pioneer in transaction authentication, a patent for its mobile-enabled multi-factor authentication software.

As the war on fraud rages on, financial institutions must retool with more sophisticated security measures in order to prevent breaches of their systems. Motivated to play a first-hand role in strengthening online security, Entersekt, an innovative pioneer in transaction authentication, joined the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance in 2013 and has been a key participant in helping to design the security guidelines for online users unveiled to the public in March.

In an effort to further expand the company's presence in North America, Entersekt, an innovative pioneer in transaction authentication and mobile application security, announced the opening of its US office in Atlanta. While the company's overseas operations will remain based outside Cape Town, South Africa, its new US headquarters will be based in Atlanta's Tower Place 100 building at 3340 Peachtree Road Northeast.
