Payment security services for merchants

A new agreement was concluded by CyberSource Corporation, a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions, and Trustwave, the leading provider of on-demand data security and payment card industry compliance management solutions to businesses and organizations throughout the world. Under the terms of the deal Trustwave and CyberSource merchants in the United States and Europe will be provided payment security solutions to help merchants streamline compliance validation with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
