Bit9 Parity™ for Point of Sale Systems

Sponsor: Bit9

Locking down and securing today’s retail Point of Sale (POS) systems has never been more challenging. Gartner research shows that more than 50 percent of attacks on retailers are at the POS system and only 30 percent of the prevailing retail software will be compliant with the latest Payment Card Industry (PCI) requirements designed to protect against those attacks. A breach of 50,000 records can cost a retailer more than $8.3 million in recovery costs alone, not including brand damage.

Bit9 Parity for POS systems is the easiest and most effective way to control and secure information on Windows-based POS systems. Bit9’s patented solution helps you whitelist approved applications and devices so only trusted software and trusted portable storage devices are allowed to operate on your POS machines.
