Heartland Payment Systems was praised for its security enhancement

Heartland Payment Systems was ranked by Bank Technology News as the #1 innovator in The FutureNow List on the grounds it makes a good work to further secure its systems and the payments ecosystem with end-to-end encryption. Heartland’s new E3TM end-to-end encryption solution was described as "this year’s biggest security invention.” 

According to the magazine, the company’s E3 solution “has the greatest potential of any new product to impact the security of America's financial system in the coming year. And by bringing it to market just about seven months after the company announced the discovery of its massive data breach, Heartland wins kudos for reacting expeditiously to both save the company and set a standard for the rest of the industry to follow.” 

 “We are honored to receive this acknowledgement from Bank Technology News in recognition of our E3 end-to-end encryption solution,” said Bob Carr, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer. "Our goal is to provide a secure and compelling solution that protects cardholders and merchants from the growing threat of cyber crime.”
