Ground Labs Sponsors HOSPACE 2011, Exposes Hidden Cardholder Data
LONDON, November 16, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
As criminals continue to breach the security of cardholder data stored
by businesses of all sizes and in all industries, hotels that store guests'
payment information are increasingly making data security a top priority.
To help hotels and other businesses in the hospitality industry to
minimise the likelihood of data breaches, Ground Labs
[http://www.groundlabs.com ] is sponsoring the HOSPACE
[http://www.hospace.net ] 2011 Conference and Exhibition to be held on
November 24, 2011 at the Sofitel, Heathrow Terminal 5 in London. The annual
event brings together professionals involved in financial management,
revenue management and information technology within the hospitality
industry.
Singapore-based Ground Labs is a global leader in the development of
security and auditing software solutions for the payment card industry. Its
flagship products, Card Recon and Enterprise Recon, identify data storage
risks automatically on thousands of computer systems worldwide, helping
companies prevent security breaches that result in the theft of customers'
credit and debit card numbers.
"Many hotels have been storing customer credit card transactions on
computer systems for many years, and therefore they face significant
challenges in the security of cardholder data," says Stephen Cavey, Director
of Corporate Development. "Our sponsorship of HOSPACE 2011 offers a prime
opportunity to demonstrate the simple approaches that can be used to help
hotels achieve compliance with PCI data security standards."
Mr. Cavey will present a session titled 'The risk of hidden credit card
data storage in your hotel -- are you endangering your business and
customers?' The presentation will educate hotel professionals on how they
can avoid common PCI compliance [http://www.groundlabs.com ] mistakes
related to cardholder data storage practices that are often overlooked.
Ground Labs will be exhibiting throughout the day on the main event floor
with live demonstrations of Card Recon
[http://www.groundlabs.com/products/crse ] and Enterprise Recon
[http://www.groundlabs.com/products/cree ].
"Criminals are on the lookout 24/7 for easy targets to steal valuable
credit card data from," warns Mr. Cavey. "Many hotels are unaware that
sensitive credit card information is stored insecurely within emails,
spreadsheets, and reservation systems." His presentation will discuss the
common hiding places of cardholder data and how it can be removed while
simplifying hotels' PCI compliance efforts.
The HOSPACE 2011 Conference and Exhibition is an annual one-day
conference hosted by HOSPA (formerly BAHA), which is the UK's leading
educational organisation for professionals involved in financial management,
revenue management and IT within the hospitality industry. Additional
