The ATM industry association update best practices for ATM physical security

The ATM Industry Association published Best Practices for ATM Physical Security Version 3 to update members on counteracting current global threats.

“This new version is required reading for those serious about protecting the ATM as a highly trusted self-service device against threats today,” explained Mike Lee, CEO of ATMIA. “The association started promoting ATM security back in 2001 with the establishment of its first ATM security conference in London, an event which is still running, and shortly afterwards began its series of security best practice manuals to cover the entire ATM security lifecycle.”

The updated Best Practices for ATM Security will help ATMIA members mitigate the risks of theft of the ATM itself, theft of cash within the ATM as well as compromise of data and electronics within an ATM.

“I’d like to thank all the contributors and reviewers, as well as the technical editor, Douglas Russell, for this timely contribution to protecting a vast industry of over 3 million ATMs,” Lee said. “This manual is a winner.”

The ATM Industry Association, established in 1997, is a non-profit global trade association with over 6,500 members in 66 countries. As an independent, non-profit trade association, our mission is: to promote ATM convenience, growth and usage worldwide; to protect the ATM industry’s assets, interests, good name and public trust; and to provide education, best practices, political voice and networking opportunities for member organizations.
