According to the three-year agreement, the bank will use Symantec’s Online Fraud Management Solution to detect fraudulent email and offer web-based education and products to its customers that are designed to help reduce exposure to spam, spyware, phishing and identity theft attempts.

Our objective is to mitigate the likelihood that our customers will be exposed to phishing and identity theft ploys through our deployment of the Symantec Online Fraud Management Solution, explained Matt Speare, corporate information security officer, M&T Bank. It’s an important step in protecting our bank’s brand and providing our customers with education and products to help protect themselves.
