Point-of-Sale (PoS) systems have been around in one form or another for decades. Businesses in the retail and hospitality industries use these systems not only to accept payment, but to provide other operational information such as accounting, sales tracking, and inventory management. PoS systems require some sort of connection to a network in order to contact external credit card processors. The same network connectivity can also be leveraged to help exfiltrate any stolen information. This is not just a theoretical risk, as we have observed multiple PoS malware families in the wild. Discover how to secure networks against POS system breaches with this white paper. |
