Data breaches are a widespread problem with over 1.1 billion records compromised in the last 10 years. According to the Verizon 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report, the vast majority of breaches occurred against small to mid-sized companies.
As a result many retailers are focused on bolstering payment security and reducing fraud by implementing solutions such us EMV, End-to-end encryption (E2EE), and Tokenization. These solutions can work in tandem to protect merchants, and enable them to exceed regulatory requirements by securing card data across all payment environments.
In this session our experts will present and define the three technologies, address the drivers that are leading the United States to implement EMV, and explain the complementary role of Tokenization with respect to EMV and End-to-end encryption.
