Cybersecurity & Data Protection

Every connection to Galicia Banco Online is secured through 128-bit Secure Socket Layer encryption, creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and Banco Galicia's servers. This encryption standard, certified by international cybersecurity authorities, ensures that all data transmitted during your online banking session—including login credentials, account numbers, transaction details, and personal information—remains completely indecipherable to unauthorized parties attempting to intercept network communications.

Galicia Banco Online requires two-factor authentication for all account access, combining something you know (your password) with something you possess (your registered mobile device or hardware token). Upon entering correct login credentials, customers receive a time-sensitive verification code via SMS or through the Banco Galicia mobile application. This dual-verification process effectively prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised, as attackers cannot complete authentication without physical access to your registered device.

Banco Galicia implements sophisticated session handling protocols within Galicia Banco Online to prevent session hijacking and unauthorized access. Each login generates a unique session token that expires after predetermined periods of inactivity. The system continuously monitors session integrity, immediately terminating connections that exhibit suspicious characteristics such as sudden geographic location changes, unusual device fingerprints, or concurrent login attempts from multiple locations. Customers are automatically logged out after 15 minutes of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access on unattended devices.

Banco Galicia's advanced artificial intelligence systems continuously analyze transaction patterns across the Galicia Banco Online platform, comparing each operation against established behavioral baselines for individual customers. The fraud detection engine identifies anomalies such as unusual transaction amounts, atypical recipient accounts, irregular timing patterns, or geographic inconsistencies. Suspicious activities trigger immediate holds on transactions pending customer verification through secondary authentication channels, effectively blocking fraudulent operations before funds leave customer accounts.

Galicia Banco Online operates on Banco Galicia's fortified data center infrastructure featuring redundant firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and continuous penetration testing. Server architecture implements network segmentation, isolating customer data from internet-facing systems and maintaining multiple security perimeters that attackers must penetrate to reach sensitive information. All servers receive real-time security updates, and Banco Galicia conducts quarterly security audits performed by independent cybersecurity firms to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before exploitation.

Customer information stored in Banco Galicia databases undergoes encryption using Advanced Encryption Standard algorithms, ensuring that even if unauthorized individuals gain physical access to storage systems, they cannot extract readable customer data. Account balances, transaction histories, personal identification information, and all sensitive data elements exist only in encrypted form within Banco Galicia's storage infrastructure, with decryption keys maintained under strict access controls separate from the encrypted data itself.

Banco Galicia's security practices adhere to standards established by the Banco Central de la República Argentina and international financial regulatory bodies. Galicia Banco Online undergoes regular compliance audits verifying adherence to data protection regulations, customer privacy laws, and banking security requirements. These regulatory frameworks mandate specific security controls, incident response procedures, and customer notification protocols, ensuring Banco Galicia maintains security standards consistent with global banking industry best practices.
