Under the initiative, the banking giant will offer its customers a discounted subscription for F-Secure's software to encourage best practice in the area of Internet security. "Our aim to act as responsibly towards our customers as possible, in all aspects of our work for them," said David Mitchell, senior operations manager at Barclays Bank. "When it comes to online banking, this means not just ensuring that our own processes are completely secure, but also that the customer's own machine PC is protected, so that the whole transaction is totally safe."
Brian Gregory, Internet Security Business Manager at F-Secure UK, said: "Once a customer has logged in to online banking, they will be asked if they are interested in secure computing. Barclays will be promoting security software to its customers and have created a specific page giving security advice, FAQs and a link to purchase and download the software. The hope is that many people will consider using the software to ensure that their transactions are fully protected, so that their personal data is kept secure."
