Mobile Payments Are Here to Stay

Conexxus offers free Oct. 2 webinar on Security of Mobile Payments.

September 17, 2014

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The latest news from Apple is another large road sign that mobile payments are here to stay, as the company enters the mobile environment with its new Apple Pay platform.  

Reading retail headlines these days is frightening, with a new breach seemingly occurring every week, resulting in payment card data theft affecting more than 110 million Americans in 2013 and 2014. What will happen when the mobile payment variable is added to the mix? Potential vulnerabilities include confusion over security ownership, lack of firewalls and device theft. 

Regardless of possible pitfalls, it is never too early to ramp up your knowledge about mobile security. As we all know, security is a never-ending task. Attending the upcoming free webinar, Security of Mobile Payments, on October 2, from 12 – 1:20 EDT will give you a better understanding of the challenges in this ever-changing environment.
