What You Need to Know About Cybersecurity Risks in Payment Processing

Cyber Security

Credit card processing involves several entities and steps to secure funds from the cardholder’s account to your account. While the process can take only seconds, it relies on a network of financial institutions, payment processors, and card networks to ensure security and accuracy.

With the growth in online and card-not-present transactions, cybersecurity risks have significantly increased. Cyberattacks in payments processing, including fraudulent purchases, extortion, denial of service attacks, and credit card fraud, can compromise important company and customer data, negatively impacting your ability to make sales and, ultimately, your revenue flow.
