EOS Payment Solutions, part of EOS Group, has selected enterprise gateway security company Secure Computing’s Secure Firewall to ensure comprehensive security and manageability while complying with the new Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS).

Since the company’s formation, EOS Payment Solutions has employed Secure Computing’s Secure Firewall, which fulfills all firewall-related PCI DSS requirements. Secure Firewall provides application-layer filtering, encrypted data transfer and supports stringent authentication specifications, while the reporting tool enables users to routinely monitor network activity.

In addition, Secure Firewall’s intrusion detection and prevention functionality identifies and logs attacks on the network as well as occurring irregularities. Using this data, the administrator can progressively improve the security of the corporate network. The technology also blocks potential front-end threats for complete protection.

Said Michael Hülsiggensen, General Manager at EOS Payment Solutions, “Our business model in itself requires the highest standards in IT security, which clearly indicated that the comprehensive security appliance from Secure Computing was the right choice.”

Based in Hamburg Germany, EOS Payment Solutions combines automated payment solutions with well-grounded expertise in information, arrears and receivables management.

The company’s “ClickPay” products facilitate credit card and debit payments, online transfers, leasing and financing, and risk and receivables management. Additional services such as the provision of address and credit rating information, risk assessments and sales financing complete the package. To be authorised to continue handling credit card information, EOS Payment Solutions had to review its own security strategy with reference to PCI specifications.

“With more than 10 million transactions executed each year, every customer of EOS Payment Solutions will benefit from the exceptional capabilities of Secure Computing’s Secure Firewall,” added Hülsiggensen.
