Innovative cloud solution enables Payment Card
Industry (PCI) compliance with evolving standards for merchants of
any size
PLANO,
Texas, Dec. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global
provider of real time communications technology and IP optical
networking solutions to many of the world's largest service
providers, enterprises, and critical infrastructure operators to
modernize and protect their networks, today announced that global
solutions provider BroadSource has selected Ribbon's SBC SWe as a
key component in its Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
(PCI-DSS) compliant secure payments system, SecureCall.
"Ribbon's global leadership and extensive SBC installed base
gave us the necessary confidence to include them as a critical part
of our solution," said Haydn Faltyn,
CEO and Co-founder, BroadSource."We look forward to working
together as customers around the world upgrade their systems to
become PCI-DSS 4.0 compliant from March
2024, allowing them to secure their customers' card payments
made over the phone in both call center and non-call center
environments".
PCI-DSS is a global payments industry standard for keeping
consumer credit card data secure when payment information is
transmitted online or over the phone. While large contact centers
may have solutions in place, multiple locations remain where credit
card information is shared over the phone, verbally. The latest PCI
standards tighten a business's obligations and require that these
informal settings be better secured. When SecureCall removes the
customer's card details from the conversation, the business no
longer has visibility into the customer's card details.
SecureCall leverages Ribbon's award-winning SBC technology to
participate in a secure conversation between the merchant, customer
and SecureCall Cloud. The solution is acquired as a cloud service
and deployed by the merchant's telecom service provider, freeing
the merchant from new technology investments. Security features
including DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) Clamping can be enabled
on any cloud phone line, so the service is available no matter
where the merchant's staff is located -- a physical store, a call
center environment or a remote workstation. Retail employees and
agents can securely take credit card information over the phone
without pausing calls or screen recordings.
"We're proud of our ability to help our customers ensure the
security of business-critical communications and meet industry and
government-led security mandates around the world," said Manny
Christophidis, Enterprise and Channel Director, Asia Pacific, Ribbon Communications. "We look
forward to supporting BroadSource's innovation and dedication to
customer success well into the future."
