Secure connectivity to host processor systems is provided using IPsec. The AccessGuard portfolio of products support a broad variety of industry standards and vendor proprietary payment protocols including Visa I/II, ISO 8583 and TPDU, enabling interoperability between client protocols and host processor protocols.

It provides intelligent routing of transactions to host processing platforms, and supports load balancing and geo-redundant operations, said the company.
