With rates of card-not-present payment fraud continuing to grow higher every year, payment and data security has never been a higher priority for organizations. Protecting customer data is of utmost importance, especially with governments and regulatory bodies increasingly turning their attention to these issues and producing legislation to implore companies to take additional security measures.

Contact centers are a part of the organization particularly fraught with responsibility, processing mountains of payments and finding themselves to be a favorite target for hackers and fraudsters. Because of this, contact centers face a myriad of laws and regulations governing the way they treat this data, such as the PCI DSS for those taking payments, among many others.

Register now to Semafone for an insightful webinar where you'll learn:

- The top data security regulations, laws, and standards bodies affecting contact center data governance
- How to comply with sometimes competing regulatory requirements and resolve conflicting stipulations
- How to achieve compliance more simply and cost effectively

With every transaction, merchants are learning more and more about their customers. And with those learnings come data and lots of it - a breach of that payments data is a nightmare for any merchant. Consumers are trusting you with their sensitive data, and losing that trust also equates to lost business.

Listen in to information security and cybersecurity experts in the payments space as they discuss the minimum requirements as well as the next steps you can take to create a better customer experience while maintaining the highest levels of security.

Some questions we'll answer:
- What is the burden on merchants to maintain compliance?
- How are current security measures causing friction in the payments experience?
- What are some tokenization options for merchants?
- What are other measures past the minimum security requirements that will elevate your business?

Effectively managing cross-border payment compliance is one of the biggest challenges facing enterprises looking to expand globally.

Sending payments internationally requires adherence to multiple, often complex, payment regulations in both the originating country and the country in which the funds land.

Regulation continues to tighten and failure to comply brings significant costs ranging from failed payments and reputational damage to crippling fines and in severe cases, legal prosecution.

Yair will discuss the biggest compliance risks in the markets with the greatest opportunities (e.g., China, Russia), and offer insights on how to effectively leverage user behavior data to identify bad behaviors.

Speakers will present trends in the E-Commerce, Mobile and Cross Border Payment Systems. The speakers will provide examples of these trends and present a view of where the market is going.

At the end of the webinar, the attendees will have be able to assess opportunities in the payments innovation space.

Payments have evolved dramatically in the past five years, but for real transformation to be achieved in the next few years, consumer and business demand for lower cost, instant and secure global payments must be met.

From trading use cases, to offering financial institutions improved cross-border payments clearing and settlement, Token shares how this technology is driving new revenue generating business models across the payments value chain.
