Cybera Positioned to Help Merchants with Increasingly Complex Security Threats
NASHVILLE, Tenn.–January 10, 2011–Defending against data breaches is becoming more complex and expensive for merchants as attacks become more sophisticated and widespread. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) the number of data breaches increased by almost 33 percent since 2009 with more than 16 million records breached in 2010.
Data breaches amount to big losses for distributed merchants. Visa estimates that approximately 85 percent of data breaches occur at the small business level is often the individual locations of larger distributed enterprises. Even a minor breach at a single location can result in a loss of business across an entire brand. Beyond financial impacts, breached merchants face negative press and permanent brand damage.
Fortunately for retailers, Cybera's comprehensive security solutions offer a simplified and more cost-effective avenue to protection. As provider of data security and PCI compliance to merchants, Cybera secures thousands of retail and restaurant locations with integrated security solutions. Cybera's solutions are provided as hosted services to minimize capital investments and accelerate implementation across enterprise locations.
"An integrated security solution allows distributed retailers to focus on growing their business instead of managing the complexities of data security and PCI compliance," says Dan Glennon, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategy at Cybera. "Cybera's solutions offer scalability through cloud-based systems that adapt to evolving security needs. This is especially important given the constantly changing methods of attack being used to gain access to sensitive data."
