Entersekt Offers Guidance on Securing the Mobile Channel Amidst FBI Cautions
29.6.2020 10:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Entersekt, a global specialist in digital security solutions, today released its updated guidance for financial institutions, Securing the Mobile Banking Channel , a white paper. This follows the FBI warning that an increase in attacks on banking applications by cybercriminals and fraudsters is likely, as consumers stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic rely more heavily on these platforms. And with recent research pointing to a marked distrust in banking communications among banking customers in the United Kingdom, it has never been as important for financial institutions to get the security of the mobile channel right.
“Current solutions to digital fraud have failed to alleviate consumer uneasiness around mobile banking security and have had a negative impact on the user experience,” said Christian Ali, SVP product, Entersekt. “Meanwhile, mobile malware is evolving fast, threatening to make the situation worse. If banks want to protect their customers from account takeover fraud and secure their futures in a disrupted marketplace, they must intelligently reengineer user and transaction authentication on the mobile channel as the first, crucial step on that path.”
Entersekt’s free-to-access whitepaper outlines the opportunities presented by mobile, as well as the new set of threats that arise from it, including the explosive rise of mobile malware, vulnerabilities stemming from poor app design and configuration, weaknesses in mobile device ID, as well as flawed authentication. Importantly, it also addresses the necessary balance of regulatory-compliant security and ease-of-use. In other words, how financial institutions can solve the security and user experience equation.
It then lays out the best practices to secure the mobile channel in order for organizations to take full control over their security. These include:
- Avoiding reliance on SMS, OTPs, and native device security
- Harnessing the power of public-key infrastructure on mobile phones
- Building a second, secure channel for user transaction and authentication
- Taking a layered approach to boost security for high-value, high-risk transactions
- Involving customers in securing their transactions

Bleeding gums? Don't ignore the warning signs – the first stage of gum disease can be reversed26.10.2026 12:28:00 EET | Press release
Gums bleeding when brushing can happen to any of us, and it is easy to ignore. But blood in the sink is a sign that something is not right with your mouth. Bleeding gums often indicate gingivitis, the earliest and most common form of gum disease. The good news: gingivitis can be reversed with proper oral hygiene. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261022835650/en/ Oral-B iO Left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a more severe stage of gum disease that can only be managed, not reversed, and can lead to losing teeth over time. Healthy gums matter beyond the mouth, too. Oral health and systemic health are deeply interconnected, with inflammation and bacteria from oral diseases contributing to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and dementia. "Gums bleeding when brushing can happen to any of us. When they do, it shouldn't be ignored," said Eva Castro Perea, who holds a degree in dentistry
Merz Therapeutics Presents New Phase 2 PaiNT Data in Peripheral Neuropathic Pain at IASP 202626.10.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release
Merz Therapeutics, a leading player in neurology-focused specialty pharma, today announced the presentation of new clinical and translational research in peripheral neuropathic pain (PNP) at the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) 2026 World Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, taking place from 26 to 30 October. The research spans new Phase 2 findings on incobotulinumtoxinA in postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and post-surgical/post-traumatic neuropathic pain (PS/PTNP), as well as preclinical studies exploring potential biological mechanisms involved in effects of incobotulinumtoxinA on PNP models, highlighting Merz Therapeutics’ growing presence in neuropathic pain. In the PHN population of the Phase 2 PaiNT trial, results over 20 weeks favored incobotulinumtoxinA versus placebo treatment. In an exploratory analysis of average daily pain (ADP) intensity, the greatest difference between treatment groups was observed at Week 6 (adjusted mean difference, −1.14 points; p=0.0488).
