The widespread use of wireless networks has created opportunities for retailers to become more effective and to add new customer services while positively impacting the bottom line. But while wireless technology has tremendous potential, many retailers' wireless infrastructure is old with insufficient security mechanisms in place to protect card holder data as required by the Payment Card Industry Security Standard. As a result, many retailers are trying to address security issues to avoid the next "media moment" related to a wireless security breach.
