Security at a Glance

First Cyber Security has developed a unique service to allow organisations to protect and enhance their online brand integrity, increase online revenues and reduce the cost of fraud, whilst at the same time increasing customer confidence in using the internet for transactions, by protecting them from fraudulent activity.
First Cyber Security’s innovative subscription service allows customers to automatically authenticate the website they are visiting, simply by glancing at a browser independent, always on top window, to check for the presence of the website owners’ logo. 

Our SOLID AuthenticationTM service (Secure On Line IDentification) uses a ‘virtual’ ID Card which is populated with the subscribers’ logo only if, the website has passed our multi-stage authentication process. Companies who subscribe to the service will be able to ensure their customers can easily recognise the difference between their ‘authentic’ site and those which use techniques such as cyber-squatting and typo-squatting to fool customers into buying counterfeit goods or services. It will also alert customers to more sophisticated fraudulent attacks such as phishing, DNS poisoning, frame spoofing, cross site scripting and man-in the middle attacks.

Additionally, an extension to the standard service allows subscribers to protect their customers within minutes of any newly identified fraudulent sites by automatically blocking access to these sites, reducing the chances of downloading malware.
