NCR unveils software suite and security architecture to help protect personal data on open retail platforms
NCR DataGuard and Intel DPT work by separating the processing of sensitive data from the operating system and the CPU both logically and physically, using a more secure tunnel supported by a trusted hardware based environment. The technology helps to protect data from the moment a transaction is initiated through the transfer of the encrypted data to the retailer as well as bank server networks.
“For the past few years, we’ve seen an unprecedented number of security
breaches that have created the need for additional security,” says
The NCR DataGuard software solution will be released later in 2015. Retailers can prepare for the future by incorporating the NCR DataGuard hardware platform which is in the latest point-of-sale solutions from NCR that contain the Intel Core and Atom processor with Intel’s DPT technology. These include the RealPOS 72XRT and the latest RealPOS 82XRT in addition to the RealPOS XR7, of which there are already more than 100,000 already deployed with retailers.
“NCR’s DataGuard is designed to also work with inherent security
features that have begun to proliferate with the growth of NFC payment
solutions,” says
NCR DataGuard is managed through a centralized, cloud-based enterprise tool that allows users to carry out configuration, set security policies, receive alerts and generate advanced reporting in addition to creating more protection for sensitive consumer data.
