Today’s bankcard networks are generally considered to be highly reliable and secure. However, cardholder data is typically unencrypted — visible in clear text — as it leaves a merchant’s terminal and makes its way through the payments network. At certain points in its journey, the data is potentially exposed — making it valuable prey for the scores of professional hackers who have developed increasingly sophisticated and technically savvy methods of hijacking it. Press reports of compromised systems over the past several years are stark testimony to the success of these criminals.
E3, an end-to-end encryption product by Heartland Payment Systems, is designed to protect credit and debit card data from the moment of card swipe or key entry — and through the Heartland network — not just at certain points of the transaction flow. E3 provides the highest degree of security available — with no extra fees.
