Protegrity joins the PCI Security Standards Council

Database and Network Journal, Feb, 2007

Protegrity Corporation has announced that the company has been accepted as a participating member of the PCI Security Standards Council. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council develops, maintains and oversees the adoption of the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DS S)--a set of best practices for the payment industry. The PCI DSS enhances data security and proactively protects customer account information at all points in the payment process--processing, transmission and storage. The PCI DSS demonstrably benefits card holders, the industry as a whole and individual businesses. It's a comprehensive achievable security standard built on the shared knowledge of industry leaders and security experts." Protegrity's unique ability to deliver end-to-end solutions for retailers makes it an ideal member of the Council. Its Defiance Suite delivers data security from the point of sale (POS) through aggregation, corporate applications (such as ERPs and loss prevention, data analysis and CRM), and into backup and storage. The Defiance Suite solves the problem of protecting sensitive data across the heterogeneous environment that is typically present at most retailers today. This includes protecting information at the store level, as well as 'big-iron' platforms such as mainframes, AS/400 and Teradata.
