comForte SecurData/24 provides data-at-rest protection for BASE24 users

WIESBADEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--comForte 21 GmbH, a global provider of security, middleware, connectivity, and operations management solutions for the HP NonStop platform, today announced the release of SecurData/24, a data-at-rest protection solution for BASE24 payment systems. SecurData/24 combines tokenization and encryption to protect primary account numbers (PAN) in BASE24 systems and related applications. Without changing the database format, SecurData/24 replaces PANs with secure tokens in transaction logs and card holder files, ensuring only authorized application processes are allowed to access PANs. In addition, sensitive files exchanged with other systems, such as BASE24 refresh or extract files, can be protected by PGP encryption or they can be processed directly via secure SFTP/SSH file transfer, eliminating any intermediate storage on the BASE24 host.

“SecurData/24 has been tested at several BASE24 sites, where it successfully worked with transaction and interchange log files. SecurData/24 acts as a transparent protection layer, eliminating the need to make any changes to BASE24 source code.”

"We are very pleased to announce the availability of SecurData/24. Built specifically for BASE24 environments, the solution enables users to take full control of their sensitive data," said Michael Horst, Chief Architect at comForte 21. "SecurData/24 has been tested at several BASE24 sites, where it successfully worked with transaction and interchange log files. SecurData/24 acts as a transparent protection layer, eliminating the need to make any changes to BASE24 source code."

SecurData/24 helps organizations to fully address requirement 3.4 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which demands that PANs are rendered unreadable wherever they are stored. To minimize the scope of PCI audits, SecurData/24 also provides standards-based interfaces that allow tokenization capabilities to be leveraged in associated BASE24 applications.
