Case Study: Credit Bank of Moscow secures ATM network and ensures regulatory compliance with Trend Micro Safe Lock

Protects ATMs and terminal network from cyber attacks with Trend Micro Safe Lock

Credit Bank of Moscow, a systemically important private bank with over 7,000 payment devices across Russia, faced growing threats to its widely distributed ATM and terminal network — from malware and unauthorized peripheral devices to targeted physical attacks — and needed to strengthen protections while meeting strict regulator and internal compliance requirements.

The bank deployed Trend Micro Safe Lock in 2019 to create an isolated, whitelisted environment on ATMs and terminals, preventing unauthorized code execution and peripheral use with minimal impact on device performance. The solution reduced malware risk, lowered security management costs, ensured compliance (confirmed by a Bank of Russia audit), and is being integrated with the bank’s SOC while capabilities are being expanded.
