CitiBusiness® Online is Dedicated to Your Security
The FFIEC (Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council) recently issued guidelines stating that some
form of two-factor authentication must secure "high-risk transactions involving access to customer information
or the movement of funds to other parties" by the end of 2006. In response, CitiBusiness Online is aggressively
moving forward with its plan to implement two-factor authentication. |

This new sign-on process will require CitiBusiness Online users to enter their User ID and static passwords along with
a one-time password generated dynamically by a small, handheld security token. Since token generated passwords
can only be used in combination with a specific user's ID and password, and can only be used once,
token authentication minimizes the risk of phishing, keylogging, shoulder surfing and other common types of online fraud.
In addition, we also adhere to the same industry standard measures we always have, including:
- Secured online sessions, indicated by a URL address beginning with https:// or a padlock symbol in the lower right hand corner of your browser
- 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption
- Session time-outs, which automatically logs you off your CitiBusiness Online session after a period of inactivity

Here you'll find tips for protecting your computer, your identity and your company's information.
