EdgeShield™ is a collection of security-related components designed to eliminate existing vulnerabilities within the payments chain. When integrated into systems that accept payments, the bundle can protect credit card data while at rest and in transit. EdgeShield includes:
OpenEdge EMV Solution This fraud-reduction technology seeks to protect card issuers, merchants and consumers from losses due to the use of counterfeit and stolen payment cards at the point-of-sale. The technology helps insulate our developer partners from complex device driving and card brand certifications.
End-2-End Encryption. OpenEdge’s proprietary encryption is designed to render cardholder data virtually unreadable, encrypted at the device. Merchants are unable to view card numbers after the swipe or hand-key.
Token Vault. Cardholder data is replaced by digital “tokens” based on this technology. Sensitive data is stored in the more secure OpenEdge vault rather than in the merchant environment.
PA-DSS 3.0 Out-of-Scope. Payment applications are rendered out-of-scope with EdgeShield, eliminating cumbersome PCI validation requirements.
PCI ASSURE. Merchants can simplify PCI compliance with online access to security self-assessment questionnaires, network scans and custom security profiles generated from the business’ processing activity. PCI ASSURE includes breach reimbursement to help merchants secure their businesses.
