“We are truly making the ‘Enterprise Security Industry’ safer in its ability to accept and send payments. There still needs to be a universal requirement to adopt encryption with specific requirements. We believe that the government in the US can provide that nudge to the private sector through incentives, and we also believe that Europe will adopt their best practices regarding encryption as part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),” stated John about the current scenario of the payment security industry.
