Cybera Joins PCI Security Standards Council as Newest Participating Organization

Cybera to Participate in Key Standards Setting Body Protecting Payment Cardholder Data
http://www.cybera.netNASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cybera, a leading data security and PCI (payment card industry) compliance solution provider, has joined the PCI Security Standards Council as a new participating organization. As a Participating Organization, Cybera will work with the Council to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and other payment card data protection standards.
“Since 2001, Cybera’s mission has been to protect customer data. As a trusted PCI compliance solutions partner to merchants, simplifying the process of securing payment cardholder data is our top priority.”
The PCI DSS, endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data integrity. More information on the council and the standard can be found at www.pcisecuritystandards.org.
As a Participating Organization, Cybera will now have access to the latest payment card security standards from the Council, be able to provide feedback on the standards and become part of a growing community that now includes more than 600 organizations. In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, adhering to the PCI DSS represents an entity’s best protection against data criminals. By joining as a Participating Organization, Cybera is adding its voice to the process.
“The PCI Security Standards Council is committed to helping everyone involved in the payment chain protect consumer payment data,” said Bob Russo, general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By participating in the standards setting process, Cybera demonstrates it is playing an active part in this important end goal.”
“PCI compliance is critical for the security of customers and the protection of merchants,” said Cliff Duffey, President and CEO of Cybera. “Since 2001, Cybera’s mission has been to protect customer data. As a trusted PCI compliance solutions partner to merchants, simplifying the process of securing payment cardholder data is our top priority.”
