The New MPS Redbox Virtualized, Open Platform Delivers Both PCI Compliance and Other In-Store Applications, Creating Significant ROI
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - January 4, 2011) - Reliant Security, the market leader in Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard compliance technology solutions for retail merchants, today announced multiple new features for their flagship product, the MPS Redbox. Next week Reliant Security will be showcasing this latest version at NRF held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City (Booth 3030).
The MPS Redbox is a virtualized security platform that comprehensively addresses the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in a highly cost-effective manner. In addition to PCI Compliance functionality, the MPS Redbox now also delivers other innovative applications to multitask the appliance in retail environments. This drives additional value and a significant return on investment.
Before the official rollout, Reliant Security tested the new features among select retail customers. One customer was Total Wine & More, America's largest independent fine wine retailer. Bob Schoening, the Chief Information Officer of Total Wine & More, shared, "Initially we worked with Reliant Security as data security and PCI consultants because we needed to quickly become PCI compliant. We then learned about their MPS Redbox appliance, and the many ways we could leverage the appliance to provide multiple data security and other functionality. After evaluating other alternatives, we decided on Reliant and their MPS Redbox for the high level of security, innovation, and to ensure a successful PCI audit."
The latest MPS Redbox enhancements include:
"The explosion of threats to the retail security environment for merchants, and the constant stream of additional regulations required have created unprecedented PCI compliance challenges for merchants," said Richard Newman, Managing Partner and co-founder of Reliant Security. "The Redbox technology provides a comprehensive foundation for today's PCI compliance needs, and simplifies the remediation effort for merchants in a very cost-effective fashion. These added MPS Redbox features represent another milestone to our stated goals, which is to provide retail merchants with a cost-effective appliance that meets PCI Requirements and leverages its ability to host other applications, resulting in a very impressive return on investment."
