LONG BEACH, Miss. — Triton Systems of Delaware Inc. has joined the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council.
According to a news release, as a participating organization, Triton will work with the council to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard, as well as other payment card data protection standards. As a participating organization, Triton now has access to the latest payment card security standards from the council and will be able to provide feedback on the standards.
"Triton is happy to join the ranks of PCI's participating organizations," said Chuck Hayes, product development manager for Triton, who is representing the ATM manufacturer on the council. "We look forward to assisting in the development of new security standards to protect the interests of both our customers and the general consumer." 
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.
"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 PCI DSS. "By participating in the standards setting process, Triton demonstrates they are playing an active part in this important end goal."
