Safeguarding credit card transactions

With credit card security breaches costing stakeholders millions of dollars, businesses and consumers are concerned about the same challenges.

Who is legally using credit card information? How can businesses maintain the confidentiality of credit card information and meet security standards and regulations for credit card transactions?

Tectia Corporation, formerly SSH Communications Security Corp, recently highlighted the challenges of protecting customer credit card data.

Tectia President and CEO Jari Mielonen noted that information security issues should no longer be the sole domain of technology officers. Mielonen pointed out that requirements for compliance with payment card industry security standards have made credit card security part of companies' risk management portfolios. "Information security should belong to every board agenda starting from today", he declared.
