Gain the Upper Hand in Payment Security

摘要

PIN pad security is no longer just an abstract concern, but rather a major issue that is proliferating today. Criminal elements are constantly seeking the weakest link to exploit in the payments value chain, because that's where they can make money most quickly, with least risk. Whoever becomes the "weakest link" will suffer significant consequences, including the costs of investigating a breach, card association fines, government sanctions, the cost of fraud, and most importantly the loss of consumer confidence and damage to a business reputation. PCI PED is the latest set of security standards for PIN Entry Devices designed to prevent or detect this type of tampering and to provide tighter security for sensitive consumer and card information.
