-- Solution comes at a pivotal time with emerging, new
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI
DSS)
LONDON, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading
telecommunications provider, Daisy Group has joined forces with
Phoenix Managed Networks, to offer a PCI Level One Certified,
cloud-based network security and management service. The new
service, PhoeniXSentry, is available just in time for businesses
needing to meet new PCI DSS standards.
PhoeniXSentry, offers security for the processes and data
carried through transactional networks, to which Daisy Group will
be providing telephone line, internet connectivity, a managed
installation service and the option of 3G failover.
The new service boasts Level One PCI DSS Certification and is
supported by a security appliance that is independently certified
by ICSA Labs. PhoeniXSentry not only protects the customer's
existing network, but runs payment data over a physically separate
network for added security.
"This solution is one of a kind," said Nathan Marke, CTO at Daisy Group. "There are no
other services that can offer voice, data and mobile connectivity,
all supported by around-the-clock management. Given the sensitive
nature of the data that transactional networks hold and the hefty
fines that security breaches ensue, it is more important than ever
to safe harbour your business."
The launch of PhoeniXSentry, comes at a pivotal time for the
transactional networking market, as new PCI regulations come into
fruition.
"Approximately 80 percent of businesses are still operating
outside the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. With
solutions like PhoeniXSentry, we aim to make compliance easier for
the UK market," said Marke.
"Our partnership with Daisy Group will make it very easy for
both direct and indirect customers to meet the daily challenges
associated with internet security, while continually meeting their
PCI DSS requirements," states Alan
Stephenson-Brown, Senior Vice President of International
Sales and Business Development for Phoenix Managed Networks.
"Bringing a comprehensive solution to market will alleviate most of
the associated burdens without significant impacts on costs,
especially in light of the new changes to the PCI mandate."
