New Software to Combat ATM Crime

The ATM Security Association (ASA) has launched a new worldwide Crisis and Crime Management Intelligence System (CCMIS).

CCMIS is a centralised, searchable database of ATM incidents providing crime trends, methods of attack, crime migration patterns and information on emerging forms of attack. It has been designed to be fully searchable, including a graphics package. The system includes a theoretical risk register to allow subscribers to the system to see potential and emerging threats.

The CCMIS is operated by ASA and the ATM Industry Association (ATMIA).
