  • Navigating the Payments Security Challenge: Get Expert Guidance

Panel featuring Rob Martin, Ingenico Group
Wednesday, June 22 from 2:30-3:30 pm local time
 With data breaches and payment card fraud on the rise, businesses are grappling with the need to secure their payment systems and protect their reputations. When it comes to implementing payment security protocols, hospitality organizations require a unique set of workflows and guest experience challenges that involve more consideration than a typical retail environment. A panel of payment industry professionals will provide an overview of the current state of payments technology, how it's changed our industry, and what's in store for the future. From data security, to the overall guest experience, this panel provides guidance on workflows and other challenges specific to hospitality operations. Understand what's most important when planning for EMV deployment and learn some simple steps that help safeguard guest data and reduce the potential for fraudulent activity.

At the booth, Ingenico Group will be demonstrating its payment acceptance solutions, including:

  • Its range of EMV and NFC-enabled Telium 2 smart terminals, combining the latest payment acceptance capabilities with the most advanced security features;
  • Its next-generation Telium Tetra solutions enabling seamless integration of business and payment, including a marketplace of consumer-centric apps and value-added services;
  • Unattended payment solutions enabling its ecosystem of partners to develop complete, secure solutions tailored to a variety of unattended environments and use cases;
  • The latest in payment security technology including point-to-point encryption and semi-integrated payment solutions, helping to safeguard against data breaches and reduce PCI scope; and
  • Its PATT solutions, which enable acceptance of emerging payment types, including EMV and NFC/contactless payments, and are designed to increase profitability and security while also improving guest satisfaction.

"Hospitality has been a rapidly growing segment for Ingenico Group and HITEC is always a great place for us to showcase our latest innovations designed to help hotels, restaurants and other hospitality organizations create better payment experiences for their guests," said Martin. "Underpinning all of our solutions is the need for security.
