Silver Tail Systems Identifies Parameter Injection Threats

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 8, 2012
Categories: FinovateSpring 2012, Silver Tail Systems

Today, Silver Tail Systems showed how its Parameter Injection Detection keeps personal information safe:

“As malware becomes more prevalent on end-user devices, criminals are devising new ways to exploit these compromised machines. One of the latest threats is parameter injection.

In parameter injection, the malware intercepts the html associated with the website before it is displayed on the end-user’s machine. The html is modified so that new parameters are shown to the user. These parameters request personal information from the end user in an innocuous way. Silver Tail’s Parameter Injection threat score identifies when there are extra parameters in the http stream returned to the banking website. This can be used to determine when an end user’s machine is infected and whether or not any personal information was lost.”

Expensify Trips Aims to Make Travelling Easier

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 8, 2012
Categories: Expensify, FinovateSpring 2012

Then, Expensify showed how its Trips platform makes travelling easier by helping you get a head start on processing travel receipts:

“Expensify Trips! Forward your travel itineraries to [email protected] and let SmartScan pull out the details for fast access inside the Expensify mobile app (iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone). Includes everything you’d expect – streamlined presentation, offline access, flight reminders, etc. But since travel itineraries are also travel receipts, this means you’re halfway done with your expense report before you even get started: create your whole report in one click after you land, receipts and all. After all, travel itineraries are just expense reports waiting to be submitted, so why not kill two birds with one stone?

Expensify Trips is one more way Expensify gets a little better (or in this case – a lot better), every day. Free to sign up, free to use, and lots of premium goodies on top.”

Product Launched: May 2012

HQ Location: San Francisco, CA

Affinity Solutions Launches Coupon-On-a-Card

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 8, 2012
Categories: Affinity Solutions, FinovateSpring 2012

Later this morning, Affinity Solutions debuted Coupon-on-a-Card, a rewards platform that allows consumers to redeem offers just by swiping their card:

“Coupon-on-a-Card is a patent-pending product allowing consumers to either pre-purchase or opt-in to a retailer offer and then receive the discount at the point-of-sale through the credit card swipe, not in a statement credit, but in real-time.

Retailers will be able to use Affinity’s proprietary segmentation strategies to create a marketing campaign and banks will be able to deliver the offer totally through the plastic, with no need to deal with paying up-front and receiving a statement credit later.

The receipt will show the split-tender transaction, only charging the credit/debit card for the final amount due, after the discounts/offer is applied.”

Product Launched: May 2012

HQ Location: New York, NY

Company Founded: July 1998

Metrics: Affinity Solutions has over 100 employees and manages loyalty and engagement programs with over 4,000 banks.
