CipherOptics Joins PCI Security Standards Council

CipherOptics, a scalable network encryption company, has joined the PCI Security Standards Council as a new Participating Organization. The company will work with the council to evolve the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) and other payment card data protection standards.

The 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. More information on the council and the standard can be found at www.pcisecuritystandards.org.

CipherOptics will now have access to the latest payment card security standards from the council, be able to provide feedback on the standards and become part of a growing community that includes more than 500 organizations. In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, adhering to the PCI DSS represents an entity’s best protection against data criminals.

“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 the PCI Security Standards Council. “By participating in the standards-setting process, CipherOptics demonstrates they are playing an active part in this important end goal.”
