Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) July 21, 2014 -- Aurus, Inc announced that it has been named a finalist in the security for the 2014 Mass Technology Leadership Council (MassTLC) Technology Leadership Awards.
Aurus Inc. a global leader in innovative payment solutions has developed a new technology to protect a retailer’s POS (“point-of-sale”) from the threats of card data breaches. The retail POS has become a high profile target for cyber hackers during the past 12 months with major breaches reported at Target, PF Changs and many merchants. The AurusPay Patented technology: (US Patent # 8543461) takes the “POS out of PCI Scope”. The proprietary solution literally removes sensitive card transaction from traditional POS and mPOS systems. AurusPay enables the completion of transactions without the card data traversing through the store’s POS system.
