Bluefin Payment Systems' Chief Innovation Officer to Speak at Money20/20


ATLANTA --(Business Wire)--

Bluefin Payment Systems, the leading provider of secure payment technology for enterprises, financial institutions, and small to medium-sized businesses, is pleased to announce that Bluefin Chief Innovation Officer Ruston Miles will speak at the upcoming Money20/20 event at the Aria (News - Alert) Casino Resort in Las Vegas, November 2nd - November 6th.

Miles will join Robert Hunt, VP & Director, Payment Card Center, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia; John Hagy, Chief Legal Officer, Meta Payment Systems; and Christopher Pierson, EVP, General Counsel & Chief Security Officer, Viewpost on the Money20/20 panel moderated by Rob Sloan, Cyberthought Leadership, Dow Jones. The panel will discuss strategies for mitigating the risks of cybercrime, data theft and fraud. The panel will take place on November 2nd at 1 p.m. in the Juniper Ballroom.

Bluefin specializes in developing innovative security solutions that safeguard cardholder data, reduce PCI (News - Alert) DSS scope, ease compliance, and decrease risk. The company has been a participating organization (PO) of the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) since 2008, and in March 2014, Bluefin became the first company in North America to receive PCI validation for a Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) Solution.

PCI-validated P2PE encrypts cardholder data within a PCI P2PE approved point of entry device so that it does not reach the system or network as clear-text cardholder data - where it could be accessible to a fraudster in the event of a data breach. In addition to a retail point of sale P2PE Solution, Bluefin also offers a card-not-present P2PE Solution as well as tokenization to protect card storage nd transparent redirect to protect Ecommerce transactions.



"Money20/20 brings together many of the brightest minds behind today's most innovative payment solutions," said Ruston Miles. "Bluefin is passionate about protecting retailers and consumers from the tireless wave of card data breaches making headlines since last November. The time has come to remove sensitive card data from retailers' systems where it is vulnerable to malware attacks. PCI-validated P2PE, in conjunction with tokenization, are the technologies that deliver a holistic security solution. I'm honored that Bluefin has been invited to Money20/20 to highlight these important and timely payment security innovations."

Money20/20 draws 7,000+ attendees, including more than 700 CEOs from over 2,500 companies and 60 countries. Money20/20 was created in 2011 by successful serial FinTech entrepreneurs and investors, Anil D. Aggarwal and Jonathan Weiner, and has grown to be the world's largest event enabling payments and financial services innovation for connected commerce at the intersection of mobile, retail, marketing services, data and technology.
