PCI DSS 4.0 looms large  

Merchants need to immediately start understanding what additional budget they are planning to allocate to tackle the increased time and costs necessary to maintain PCI compliance. Even working to find and procure the services of an approved scanning vendor will take time and internal resources.

Easing the Burden of Data Privacy Compliance

Many organizations lack enough awareness of the data they collect to effectively tackle consumer privacy. In some cases, a data mapping exercise coupled with a third-party vendor assessment can be enough to uncover the detail needed to map the flow of consumer data into and out of a business. In others, fundamental change may be…

EMV 3DS 2.0, the new standard, allows merchants to perform enhanced consumer authentication via means such as biometric verification or one-time SMS passcodes.

PAX POS Security and what it means to your organization

Security attacks should be mentioned in the same breath for predictability as death and taxes, and increasingly an organization’s security resources are too strapped for time to operate, complete project work, and continue to adapt and tune their security approach. Third parties who can evaluate your current security environment and provide critical, unbiased feedback with a plan for continued improvement are more vital than ever before.

Outdoor EMV helped defray fraud, but what about improving security and protecting cardholder data for petroleum marketers?

For petroleum marketers, now on the other side of Outdoor EMV implementation, payments at the pump seem more secure and less prone to fraud. This view is only somewhat true, however: Committing fraud by way of stolen card is now more difficult, but sensitive payment data is both more vulnerable and more under attack than…
