Cardholder data is the asset you need to safeguard not your inventory.

These attacks on small merchants have a concrete objective.  More than half of all data breaches investigated by Verizon Business and the U.S. Secret Service involved payment card data.  More telling was the fallout, as 83% percent of stolen records was from payment card data.  This percentage dwarfs all other breaches, so clearly your cardholder data is the main target for thieves.

Breaches can hit merchants of ANY size – payment card data theft has hit organizations of all sizes.  The biggest known breach to date was the theft and sale of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers from nine major U.S. retailers, including TJX Companies, Inc., BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc., OfficeMax Inc., Barnes and Noble Inc., and Sport Authority.  The criminals were an international credit fraud ring, prosecutions and convictions are now underway.
