With continued improvements in payments security through technologies such as P2PE and EMV, the PCI community has been effective at combating crime in a wide variety of traditional retail environments. As the use of stolen or fraudulent cards for in-person transactions becomes more difficult, however, criminals are increasingly shifting their focus to online activities, and the rapidly growing mobile payment sector. To stay ahead of the bad guys, merchants need solutions that are designed to reliably protect payment data within their environment, and reduce PCI scope without impacting business processes.

Join this webinar to learn why any business that wants to remove sensitive data from their databases should understand these strategies on how they can eliminate exposure to cardholder data, reduce risks and PCI audit costs. You will learn:

  • How the threat landscape is evolving
  • What the attackers are doing differently
  • How to stay ahead of cyber thieves, while neutralizing the risk of payment data breaches
  • What is necessary to secure all e-commerce and mobile transactions
  • How to enable innovation and business growth while maintaining strong data protection
