Lessons From the Front Lines: Heartland Payment Systems CEO
Speaks Out
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Heartland CEO Robert
Carr is outspoken about the massive data breach the
company suffered in 2008, exposing more than 130 million debit and
credit card accounts. But at a time when comparable breaches have
cost some senior executives their jobs, Carr remains a leader of
the payment processing company -- largely because he stepped up to
the huge security challenge, leading Heartland's adoption of
end-to-end encryption, tokenization and EMV chip-and-pin payment
card technologies.

Carr has watched the recent wave of data breaches and sees a
common theme: Many companies haven't made the right choices or
investments on the right security
and out-of-scope solutions, and some of them are paying the price.
In his presentation, Carr will lay out a CEO's view on selecting
the right security and out-of-scope solutions and justifying the
necessary investments.

1000 company; grown from 25 to more than 3,800 employees; from
2,500 to 300,000 business and education locations; and from a

billion. Heartland ranks as one of the nation's largest payment
