Cybera to Participate in Key Standards Setting Body Protecting Payment Cardholder Data
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cybera, a leading data security and PCI (payment card industry) compliance solution provider, has joined the PCI Security Standards Council as a new participating organization.

As a trusted PCI compliance solutions partner to merchants, simplifying the process of securing payment cardholder data is our top priority.”
The PCI DSS, endorsed by American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc., requires merchants and service providers that store, process or transmit customer payment card data to adhere to information security controls and processes that ensure data integrity.
