As Council’s newest Participating Organization eMazzanti Technologies to contribute to the development of PCI Security Standards
Endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., the PCI Security Standards require merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data protection. To enhance payment data security globally while embracing new technologies as they are developed, the Council relies on involvement of those across the payments processing chain, from merchants and service providers to payment device manufacturers and software developers, financial institutions and processors.
As a Participating Organization, eMazzanti Technologies adds its voice to the standards setting process and will receive previews of drafts of standards and supporting materials in order to provide feedback to shape their final versions, as well as engage a growing community of more than 600 organizations united to improve payment security.
eMazzanti Technologies will also have the opportunity to recommend new initiatives for consideration to the PCI Security Standards Council, participate in exclusive webinars and question and answer sessions with Council representatives, and review and discuss new versions of the PCI Security Standards while sharing cross-sector experiences and best practices at the annual Community Meetings.
“In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, adhering to the PCI DSS represents an entity’s best protection against network security threats and data breaches,” said Stephen Orfei, General Manager of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By joining as a Participating Organization, eMazzanti Technologies demonstrates they are playing an active part in mitigating the threats and improving the security of the payment chain globally by driving the security standards to higher levels of adoption and strength.”
“Hundreds of businesses and their customers depend on eMazzanti’s advanced network security technologies, managed IT security services and security-first mindset to protect sensitive personal and financial data,” stated Carl Mazzanti, CEO, eMazzanti Technologies. “Participating on the PCI Security Standards Council is a great opportunity for eMazzanti to represent the data security needs of our constituents to the industry’s global standards body.”
