Data Security Best Practices for Small Merchants

Posted by Dave Cosper on Monday, July 28, 2008

The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) and Visa will be hosting a free online seminar titled Data Security Best Practices for Small Merchants on Wednesday, July 30th, at 2:00 pm Central time.

"Hackers and criminals continue to target businesses of all sizes in search of payment card information. Small businesses account for 85% of all reported security breaches. Consumers want to know that the businesses that handle their sensitive personal information -- including their name, address and bankcard account number -- are taking precautions to prevent these crimes."

The one-hour webinar will cover recent security breach trends as well as specific actions small business owners can take to protect their business. Topics will include:

  • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
  • Data security best practices for small businesses
  • Tools you can implement to reduce risk

 

You will need to register ahead of time to attend this webinar. Please copy and paste the following into your Web browser, and then, follow the prompts for information:
