Welcome to Transact

Welcome to a new year and the latest issue of

our Transact newsletter. I’m looking forward to

2015 and excited about the plans we have in

place. Our ATM footprint continues to expand

with customers now in Malaysia, Thailand and

Hong Kong, as well as Australia and New

Zealand. We’re proud of our ability to roll out

next generation wireless networks for ATM

operators around the world and anticipate a lot

of activity in this area this year.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to welcome new customers to our community, as well

as thank existing customers for renewing with TNS.

I wish you, your colleagues and your families all the best for 2015.

DDoS Attacks a Growing Payments Industry Problem

Over the last decade, we have

experienced the exponential rise of

Internet-connectivity, leading to Internet

access almost becoming a commodity.

With that widespread availability of

access, service providers in the

payments industry are offering

unprecedented access to information

and services across that medium.

As the ease of access and our

dependency on Internet-based services

grows, so does the threat landscape

and the potential for service impacting

attacks. One of the most prevalent

attacks against Internet services is the

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

attack.

taking to protect against DDoS

New White Paper - IP Payment Network Security

Are you considering moving your card

payment transaction network away from

a traditional dial, X.25 or frame relay

network to an open IP network?

This can help to simplify your business

and create new business opportunities;

however, it can potentially expose your

firm to more risks. Our new white paper

entitled Bridging the Security Gap for

IP Payment Networks considers:

• Understanding the risks

• Protecting from DDoS threats

• Holistic network security,

equipment, personnel and process

• Securing against hacking attacks
