Solving the Security Risk of Credit Card Data Breaches

For companies that accept credit and debit card payments, a breach of credit card and confidential customer data is among the most serious risks a business faces today. Failure to protect that data leads to financial costs, customer defections and loss of reputation - all of which impact your company's bottom line.

In 2008, total costs on average for a data breach grew to $202*per compromised customer record. The cost of lost business, as a result of the breach, accounted for a whopping $139* or 69% of the total. From 2005 to 2008, the cost of lost business jumped by more than $64* on a per-victim basis, a 38% overall increase.

This white paper explores the escalating business risks of storing customer payment data on internal systems and steps you can take now to relieve the worry about safeguarding sensitive credit card data is a security breach occurs.
