Source Defense Partners With PCI Security Standards Council to Help Secure Payment Data Worldwide

Partnership Enables Source Defense to Enhance PCI Security Standards to Protect Corporate Websites – the Primary Origination Point of Payment Data

Source Defense, the market leader in client-side website security, announced today it has joined the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) as a new Participating Organization. Source Defense will work with the PCI SSC to help secure payment data worldwide through the ongoing development and adoption of the PCI Security Standards.

The PCI SSC leads a global, cross-industry effort to increase payment security by providing flexible, industry-driven and effective data security standards and programs. The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process and preventing, detecting and mitigating criminal attacks and breaches.

As a Participating Organization, Source Defense adds its voice to the standards development process and will collaborate with a growing community of more than 800 Participating Organizations to improve payment security worldwide. Source Defense will also recommend new initiatives for consideration to the PCI Security Standards Council and share cross-sector experiences and best practices at the annual PCI Community Meetings.

“In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, PCI Security Standards and resources help organizations secure payment data and prevent, detect and mitigate attacks that can lead to costly data breaches,” said Mauro Lance, Chief Operating Officer of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By joining as a Participating Organization, Source Defense demonstrates they are playing an active part in improving payment security globally by helping drive awareness and adoption of PCI Security Standards.”
