Heartland is seeking to foster an open dialogue about data security among leaders in the payments processing industry. Disclosure of information and risk mitigation strategies are crucial in the fight against cyber criminals.
These organizations are focused on enacting real change in the safeguarding of cardholder and payment account data.
"We believe the marketplace will accept this higher level of payments security and are willing to share our knowledge and learnings with all industry stakeholders via the Payment Processors Information Sharing Council, FS-ISAC and Secure POS Vendor Alliance organizations."
– Bob Carr, chairman and chief executive officer, Heartland Payment Systems
