Best practices for securing web sites for banks
Banks, credit organisations, as well as many other financial institutions very often become a target for a variety of malicious attacks, including phishing used to steal personal information of customers. Phishing is a type of online fraud that aims to obtain confidential user information (logins, passwords, credit card data, etc.). In recent years, given the rampant growth of phishing methods and social engineering, security has become a major factor to be taken into consideration in online business management. Fraudsters are becoming smarter every day, creating fake pages of banks and credit institutions, which are very difficult to distinguish from the genuine sites.
To ensure your customers are not affected by these malicious acts, you should definitely commit to purchasing EV SSL-certificate. The owners of phishing sites will not be able to obtain an EV certificate, because they have no connections to the official bank. For this type of certificate an extended review of your organisation's data is required to gain authentication.
If the site is protected by an EV SSL-certificate, the browser address bar is highlighted in green. This is the easiest way to tell the client that the Web site has passed strict authentication ("extended validation"), which is required for the issue of EV-certificate.
Accordingly, your customers will know that you are who you say you are and not an attacker preying on gullible users.
Examples of banks, which already used an EV certificate:
