MONETT, Mo., Feb. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: [ JKHY ]) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its ProfitStars® division announced today the availability of the Gladiator eCommercial Security Awareness Training™ (eCommercial SAT).

The Web-based eCommercial SAT training program was designed to help financial institutions comply with the FFIEC's supplemental guidance to its Authentication in an Internet Banking Environment report, which called for action by January 1, 2012. eCommercial SAT provides customized tools for financial institutions to educate commercial customers on evolving fraud risks and best practices, helping to protect the confidentiality and integrity of online financial transactions. Gladiator's IT regulatory compliance experts will work with clients to develop easy-to-understand Web-based training programs, recorded webcasts, and ongoing communications about the latest threats to online banking customers. Additionally, the solution's reporting features enable financial institutions to track customer acknowledgement and information retention via quiz scores.

Jackie Marshall, director of Gladiator IT regulatory compliance, commented, "Examiners are expected to assess financial institutions' electronic banking compliance and security standards against the new FFIEC guidance this year, and customer education is an area likely to be scrutinized. Gladiator's eCommercial Security Awareness Training contains compelling information that financial institutions can measure and report, and helps them implement an ongoing communication strategy for their commercial customers. It is a win for banks and businesses."

The eCommercial SAT training solution is designed to fill in any gaps of communication necessary to maintain an optimally secure online banking environment. It addresses internal and external threats unique to commercial banking customers' online financial transactions, educates them on identity protection, and details the highest security practices.
