Information Security Webinar Announced: "How Credit Card Number Tokenization Can Reduce PCI Compliance Scope…and Data Protection Costs"

WILMINGTON, Del.--(Business Wire)--
Electronic Payment Exchange ("EPX"), (www.epx.com) a leading international
provider of end-to-end fully-integrated payment processing, announced today that
it is co-producing a special educational webinar with the PCI Knowledge Base on
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 beginning at 1:30 p.m. EDT: "How Credit Card Number
Tokenization Can Reduce PCI Scope…and Data Protection Costs."

Hosting the discussion will be Dr. David Taylor, CISSP, founder of The PCI
Knowledge Base (www.pciknowledgebase.com) and previously a long-time Gartner
Group senior analyst. Co-presenting will be Matt Ornce, COO and Chief Security
Officer of EPX.

Dr. Taylor will present the latest research on what leading organizations are
thinking about tokenization as a solution, and review the timely debate over
end-to-end encryption vs. credit card data "tokenization." Mr. Ornce will
discuss the key criteria to be considered when evaluating cardholder data
replacement as an alternative to full encryption.

Registration is open to all interested persons by going to:
http://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/972234370. For further registration or
topic information, participants can call EPX at 302-246-3110 or email:
buyerwall@epx.com. After the event, the webinar can be viewed at www.epx.com.

Issues addressed will include:

* Why is encryption not always a total solution, especially for larger
organizations?
* How can merchants operate without cardholder data in their environments?
* What is true "end-to-end" tokenization...and what are the different ways to
implement it?
* What types and sizes of organizations will benefit most from tokenization?
* What are the different approaches to creating secure replacement value
reference algorithms?
* Should replacement values be created and managed internally, or by a payment
processor?
* How is tokenization priced, and why it can dramatically reduce the cost of
card data protection?

About Electronic Payment Exchange (EPX)

Founded in 1979, Electronic Payment Exchange ("EPX") is a global provider of
fully integrated, end-to-end payment solutions for merchants across all
distribution channels. EPX offers a full range of payment processing services
for leading merchants, retailers, e-tailers and banks in the United States,

BuyerWall is a patent-pending technology integrated throughout EPX`s processing
platform. BuyerWall lets merchants operate normally without credit card
transaction data ever in their systems. From the point of sale, all credit card
data is replaced by BuyerWall "BRICs" - GUID ("globally unique identifier")
reference codes that are undecipherable in the merchant`s environment. Since
they are not derived from the credit card numbers, BRICs have no street value if
the merchant is breached. EPX is the only full front-end and back-end settlement
processor in the payment industry offering complete data replacement services.
