What is Rapport?
Rapport works alongside your existing firewall and antivirus solutions to provide added protection to your online banking session with SVBeConnect. Rapport creates a secure tunnel between your keyboard and SVBeConnect to minimize the risk of your information being captured by an outside party.
Why Use Rapport?
- Rapport is free for you as a client of Silicon Valley Bank, is easy to install, and has an unintrusive user interface.
- Rapport enhances the security of the browser when you connect to SVBeConnect by verifying that the connection with the Web site is direct and encrypted to prevent "Man in the Middle" attacks.
- Rapport validates the Web site you see is really hosted by Silicon Valley Bank, thereby reducing risk of sending information to phishing sites.
What is the User Experience?
The interface with the user is designed to be as simple as possible. An icon is added to your browser.
When you connect to SVBeConnect the icon in the browser window will turn green.
When you visit sites that do not use Rapport the icon browser window will remain grey.
