ATMs

The perfect protection while the bank is closed

ATM facilities are particularly vulnerable when it comes to security. The cash machines are either pulled out by vehicles or blown open by gas or explosives resulting in theft and damage.

Proved effective

ATMs are prime targets for criminals. An incident can cause significant financial damage. Even when the attack is not successful and the criminals leave without the money, it still causes serious harm to the ATM and the building. This can mean significant downtime before the ATM and building are restored, which can impact the continuity of the business.

 

ATMs are also targets of vandalism. This can be a big problem not only due to the cleanup required but also because of the damage it can do to a bank’s image. It can create less trust for the customers of the bank, and they can feel as if the bank isn’t securing their finances sufficiently. This can lead to people searching elsewhere, resulting in a financial impact due to fewer customers. It also causes concern to the public; people could be living upstairs or passing by when the ATM explodes.

Why a proactive approach is needed

Traditional security measures like surveillance and alarms aren’t sufficient to avoid the tampering of ATMs. These systems can provide significant security; however, it has been shown not to stop the criminals. The systems will provide evidence and alert authorities. However, criminals are often masked when they conduct their actions, so police often can’t use the CCTV to identify the guilty party, and they are often gone before reinforcement can show up. Therefore, a more proactive approach is needed.
