With this additional comfort and convenience comes the need for more security. Security breaches can lead to compromise of sensitive information and possible identity theft. HDFC Bank constantly updates its security features to make sure your banking experience is safe and secure at all times.
All the banking systems are secured using cutting edge security arrangements, for example firewalls, intrusion detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, and anti-malware. Some specific security measures taken by HDFC Bank include:
PIN security: The PIN is generated randomly by the system, then encrypted and stored on the NetBanking system to facilitate authentication using industry-specified encryption standards. Hence, it is not accessible to anyone – not even the system administrator.
Additional authentication: A dual authentication process has been set up for different key transactions like SMS OTP (one-time password) authentication and debit card PIN authentication.
Virtual keyboard: Customers have the option of using a virtual keyboard while logging in, which protects credentials from being compromised by malware such as keyloggers.
Insta-alerts: This service sends instant SMS and email alerts to customers on registering for different transactions such as deposits and withdrawals, and also for carrying out third-party transfer transactions.
There are many more security features, such as a secure web page that uses 128-bit encryption, so anyone over the internet cannot intercept the communication. It also automatically logs out the customer after a period to protect against misuse, displays the customer’s last login details, masks their mobile number so that only the last five digits are displayed, employs a digital certificate provided by Verisign, etc.
