NCR Corporation, the provider of ATM security, has received PA-DSS certification from the PCI Security Council. Reportedly, the latest version of NCR APTRA Advance NDC makes it possible to drive a single application across multiple vendors’ hardware in NDC host environments.
PCI has said that PA-DSS is a comprehensive standard intended to help organizations proactively protect customer account data, through requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. The goal of PA-DSS is to help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications that do not store sensitive data, such as full magnetic stripe, CVV2 or PIN data, and ensure their payment applications support compliance with the PCI DSS.
Michael O’Laughlin, general manager, NCR Financial Services, said: “At NCR, ATM security is one of the pillars of our business, and we are committed to being at the forefront of the industry in order to protect the privacy and data of our customers and the consumers they serve. More financial institutions turn to APTRA to run their ATMs than any other software, so it is critical that we work closely with PCI to certify this mission-critical software for PA-DSS compliance.”
