Savings bank ING Direct is stepping up its online security by giving customers a stronger authentication process for logging into their accounts.

The bank will use RSA Security's technology, which requires more information from customers than just usernames and passwords.

The new authentication will involve correctly identifying a previously selected image and phrase, and answering at least five security questions.

Customers' computers can also be used as a second factor of authentication as the system can identify the device, network forensics, behavioural analysis and other parameters.

RSA recently bought financial services authentication company Cyota in a $145m deal.

And in June data storage specialist EMC agreed to acquire digital security company RSA Security for slightly less than $2.1bn.
