ATM Security
Anti-Skimming Card Reader
A skimmer is a malicious device attached to an ATM, skillfully hidden or disguised to avoid detection, designed to capture cardholder data (such as a card’s magnetic stripe) for later fraudulent use. Incidents involving skimmers are increasing, highlighting the need for robust ATM protection against such attacks.
Anti-Skimming Security Solution
D.I.S.C. or Deep Insert Skimming Counter
Designed to take up the extra space in the dip card reader to allow for only one item a customer card or a skimming device.
ECS 4-in-1
Detects skimming attacks directly at the card reader. Once attack is detected, a random jamming frequency is emitted, scrambling any ability to obtain card data. Easy to install, few false alarms, ATM is not shut down.

How Does Skimming Work?
Overlay Skimming
Deep Insert Skimming
Criminals have engineered various designs to insert card data capture devices into card readers. These devices are made to be as thin as possible, allowing enough space for an ATM card to still be inserted into the reader.
Anti-Skim Security Features
- Metal Detection:
Detects skimmers mounted to or inserted into the card reader, including overlay and deep insert skimmers. The ATM automatically goes out of service, logs the event, and notifies Triton Connect. The ATM resumes operation once the skimmer is removed.
- Magnetic Field Interference:
Emits a jamming signal to disrupt a skimmer’s ability to read a magnetic stripe.
- Encryption at Magnetic Head:
Encrypts magnetic stripe data at the first point of contact, protecting against skimmers inside the ATM’s cabinet.
- Encryption of EMV Chip Card APDU:
