ATM Security & Response

Your competitors have already eliminated the 
8-minute attack window. Have you?

A reinforced safe only buys you time; it doesn't stop the theft. AURA turns your existing alarm triggers into immediate physical intervention, ensuring that when an ATM is attacked, armed responders are already on-site before the safe is breached.
Physical barriers fail when response times lag

In South Africa, securing ATMs is no longer a battle of steel thickness. Organized syndicates now use industrial-grade explosives to breach safes in under five minutes.

If your security strategy relies on a box that "holds out" while a manual dispatch process crawls through traffic, you have already lost the asset. Compounding this is the Stage 6 load-shedding reality: when grids go dark, your monitoring fails, creating a perfect, predictable window for coordinated attacks.

01
Total capital destruction
Beyond the stolen cash, the cost of replacing the unit and repairing the site structure averages R1,400,000.
02
The silent revenue drain
A destroyed ATM is a dead revenue stream. Every day of downtime drives your transaction fees and customer loyalty to the bank across the street.
02
Technician vulnerability
Without rapid-response support, your maintenance and CIT crews are high-value targets during routine replenishment and safe servicing.

How it works

Your signal. Our response.

AURA integrates with your monitoring partners to automate the physical defense of your fleet.
01
The trigger
Your existing monitoring system detects an attack or unauthorized safe access attempt.
02
The integration
Your system pushes the 
alert to AURA via our API or signal-ingestion layer.
03
The deployment
AURA’s platform automatically dispatches the closest armed responder—slashing the "window of opportunity" for the criminals.
04
The resolution
Responders secure the asset and technicians. Your SOC receives a live incident report and data log instantly.

“There have been numerous instances where they have assisted us in protecting the lives and assets of our clients. MiWay was provided with a customer-facing portal which gave a full audit trail of users’ actions…we therefore recommend AURA’s services.”
