Transactional security gets a boost from the PCI SVA

Synergy, I just love it. I get a press release from software security company PC Tools bemoaning the fact that us Brits are pretty crap when it comes to taking notice of transactional security on the same day as another heralding the launch of the Payment Card Industry Security Vendor Alliance (PCI SVA) which aims to assist merchants, banks and point-of-sale vendors in educating the business community with regard to the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). This global benchmark is intended to improve security throughout the entire payment card transaction process, bringing benefit to all sides of the ecommerce equation.
