Safe Money, a technology incorporated into Kaspersky Internet Security, provided the high quality protection for online banking operations. It was acknowledged to be one of the most reliable and thus awarded with the MRG Effitas Certified status.<\/p>\n<p>About Safe Money: One of the key security technologies that ensures multi-level protection for the user\u2019s online financial activity. Kaspersky solutions use it while checking the computer for malware, ensuring that the payment site is authentic and safeguarding transactions.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How to set up Safe Money \u2013  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iCYi8LstIB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/iCYi8LstIB<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaspersky?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">@kaspersky<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/security?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">#security<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kaspersky Technical Support (@kl_support) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kl_support\/status\/514059410277036032?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">September 22, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>MRG Effitas experts regularly examine the latest versions of specialized and universal software that secure transactions. The last series of test continued for 12 months. All this time researchers were using different methods and approaches to evaluate the protection quality from different perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>In the beginning of the research security solutions had to combat the collections of recently-discovered, active financial malware, and to prevent any leakage of payment data during transactions made from already-infected systems that were designed to imitate the most commonly-seen botnets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2015\/07\/05195131\/mrg-effitas-award-logo-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5956\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2015\/07\/05195131\/mrg-effitas-award-logo-1024x596.jpg\" alt=\"mrg-effitas-award-logo\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In Q2 2014 the researchers continued bombarding security solutions simulating a Man-in-The-Middle attack.
