Unfortunate Breach - Importance of data transfer encryption

FTPPlanet caught the news of this recent security breach at Hannaford grocery markets in the Northeast. The news surfaces a growing importance of data security and encryption when electronic payments are processed. Our parent company, Ipswitch, has been developing secure file transfer solutions into it's WS_FTP product family. There is a section on the website that speaks to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS): Safeguard credit cardholder data and sensitive card authentication information. PCI DSS provides a minimum security standard for protecting cardholder data - both in-transit and in-storage - to ensure that members, merchants and service providers maintain a consistent and secure cardholder data environment.
