LONDON - The ATM Industry Association's Debit Council has published Best Practices for Protecting the Point-of-Sale Lifecycle.
This is the first time the financial services industry, on both the ATM and POS sides of the business, has collaborated on producing security best practices for the POS lifecycle.
It is estimated that there are 20 million POS devices installed worldwide.
The best practices report defines and addresses eight phases: cardholder security, compliance to existing industry standards, secure deployment of devices, physical security, PIN and encryption security, software security and security during the final de-commissioning process.
