Protect Your Business From Cyberattacks

Free Conexxus webinar on June 30 explains strategy behind successful network segmentation to prevent data breaches.

June 16, 2015

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – As the push for EMV acceptance makes its way into convenience and fuel retail operations, a vast new array of updated point-of-sale (POS) systems are beginning to emerge. These new and updated POS systems rely heavily on network communications (such as Internet connectivity) for payments processing, as well as remote POS troubleshooting, management and software updates.

As the paradigm shift from legacy infrastructure happens, it becomes more important to segment and isolate those POS systems from the rest of your equipment and services using the same Internet connectivity within the retail infrastructure. Using network segmentation is not just a means for reducing the assessment scope for PCI-DSS, it's a necessary strategy for providing POS security and protecting your business from cyberattacks and data breaches. Conexxus will be presenting a free webinar on Network Segmentation on June 30, 12 pm – 1 pm (EDT). The webinar will be led by Mark Carl, CEO of EchoSat Inc., both longtime supporters of the petroleum merchant.

It's evident from recent cyberattacks and data breaches that criminals are relying mostly on access to unprotected internal systems (such as video surveillance and tank monitoring), rather than attacking the POS directly from outside the merchant’s network.

Understanding how to properly implement network segmentation is just one of the essential steps in ensuring a successful transition to EMV later this year, and is a necessary strategy to protect your business — and your customers — from a data breach. Register now for the free webinar.
