Visa to Launch Point-to-Point Encryption Service
Visa has announced a new service, 'Visa Merchant Data Secure with Point-to-Point Encryption', that will be marketed through acquirers in early 2013 to merchants.
"Merchants large and small have expressed an interest in encryption as a way to protect cardholder data in their payment systems and simplify their security protocols," said Ellen Richey, Chief Enterprise Risk Officer, Visa Inc. "Since encrypted data can't be used to commit fraud, Visa's point-to-point encryption solution can significantly reduce the risk and impact of data compromises."
