  •  EOS Payment Solutions affirms comprehensive security and manageability provided by Secure Firewall 


Secure Computing Corporation (Nasdaq: SCUR), a leading enterprise gateway security company, has announced that EOS Payment Solutions has selected the company’s Secure Firewall (formerly known as Sidewinder®) to ensure comprehensive security and manageability while complying with the new Payment Card Industry (PCI ) Data Security Standard (DSS).
 
“A solid argument for Secure Firewall was the fact that the system had never been hacked. The same cannot be said for any other firewall product on the market. Furthermore, Secure Firewall made it possible to address PCI requirements promptly and easily – all we had to change were the password guidelines. Our business model in itself requires the highest standards in IT security, which clearly indicated that the comprehensive security appliance from Secure Computing was the right choice,” said Michael Hülsiggensen, General Manager, EOS Payment Solutions.
 
Since the company’s formation, EOS Payment Solutions has employed Secure Computing’s Secure Firewall, which fulfills all firewall-related PCI DSS requirements. Secure Firewall provides application-layer filtering, encrypted data transfer and supports stringent authentication specifications, while the reporting tool enables users to routinely monitor network activity.
 
In addition, Secure Firewall’s intrusion detection and prevention functionality identifies and logs attacks on the network as well as occurring irregularities. Using this data, the administrator can progressively improve the security of the corporate network. The technology also blocks potential front-end threats for complete protection. Secure Firewall sets a new standard for proactive threat detection by integrating the industry’s first and leading reputation system—TrustedSource™ technology—into every firewall. As a result, EOS Payment Solutions’ network benefits from real-time behavior monitoring of dynamic URLs, domains, IPs, message content and images. The resulting reputation scores enable proactive blocking of spam, spyware, viruses and malware at the gateway—well before they ever gain access to the network.
 
Based in Hamburg Germany, EOS Payment Solutions combines automated payment solutions with well-grounded expertise in information, arrears and receivables management.  The company’s “ClickPay” products facilitate credit card and debit payments, online transfers, leasing and financing, and risk and receivables management.  Additional services such as the provision of address and credit rating information, risk assessments and sales financing complete the package. To be authorized to continue handling credit card information, EOS Payment Solutions had to review its own security strategy with reference to PCI specifications.
 
PCI DSS is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures intended to optimize the security of credit, debit and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information. PCI DSS was created jointly in 2004 by Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. It clearly outlines the 12 key requirements with which companies processing, storing, or transmitting payment card data must comply or risk losing their payment processing abilities.  Merchants and payment card service providers must validate their compliance periodically with auditors. 
 
“With more than 10 million transactions executed each year, every customer of EOS Payment Solutions will benefit from the exceptional capabilities of Secure Computing’s Secure Firewall,” concluded Hülsiggensen.
