ComputerWorld Magazine Introduces Merchant Warehouse’s MerchantWARE
On May 20, 2008, ComputerWorld Magazine presents the latest security tools to help merchants prevent “data-in-transit thefts” from stealing sensitive transaction information, which includes Merchant Warehouse’s MerchantWARE solution.
The article, titled “New Attack Trend Pushes POS Encryption to the Fore,” introduces the top three vendors (the 2nd being Merchant Warehouse) who have assumed proactive roles in helping to battle the data security crisis that has disturbed retailers nationwide, and highlights their data-shielding products.
As cited in the piece, Merchant Warehouse’s MerchantWARE aims at securing payment card data within the POS environments by scrambling or, encrypting it directly at the card reader device so when in-transit, hackers can’t decode it. “By encrypting the [credit card] data instantly upon swiping the card, it’s transmitted safely and securely throughout both private and public networks. Essentially, we remove the valuable data from vulnerable systems, so there’s nothing left for crooks to steal,” explains Henry Helgeson, President & Co-CEO of Merchant Warehouse.
With so many breaches concerning small and large businesses alike, it is essential for merchants to encrypt payment card data within their private networks by installing encryption technologies, such as MerchantWARE, for the utmost level of protection.
