Security

VeriFone payment platforms support the most stringent security standards around the world, extending peace of mind to the point of sale. In fact, VeriFone conforms to industry standards and mandates often well before we are required to do so.

From card association mandates like PCI PED (Payment Card Industry PIN Entry Device) and EMV (European Visa/MasterCard), VeriFone solutions help simplify compliance so retailers can stay focused on running their business.

 
  • The number of attempted and successful breaches is unfortunately increasing, even among retailers that meet PCI DSS standards and audits. Only VeriFone has introduced a solution that eliminates card information completely from a retailer’s network by encrypting the data the moment it’s taken from the consumer’s card. The solution is VeriFone’s VeriShield Protect.
  • VeriFone was the first vendor to release a complete line of Visa PED approved products prior to the mandate.
  • VeriFone’s PCI PED approved portfolio leads the industry and has often been double that of competitors. VeriFone is the only payment technology vendor that sits on the PCI Council.
  • Our solutions support EMV standards, as well as Triple DES.
  • VeriFone's PCCharge software was one of the first applications to be validated against Visa's Payment Application Best Practices (PABP).
  • Our PC and Enterprise payment software solutions were the first of their kind to be validated under Visa's PABP security audit.
  • VeriFone was first to market with a full product family of wireless and countertop IP-enabled systems to meet the new PTS requirements. We announced in early November 2006, our Vx Solutions, a full line of compliant products.
  • VeriFone’s VeriShield physical and logic security architecture has been fine-tuned over several generations of products and provides you with increased control over terminal access.
  • VeriFone’s secureretailpayments.com site is a highly visible Web property VeriFone manages to educate retailers on key industry trends in security and best practices.
  • VeriFone is often asked to write for industry publications on the topic of payments security. Many of our senior managers have been published on a variety of topics.
