CHICAGO--()--At NRA Show 2015, Heartland Payment Systems (NYSE:HPY), one of the nation’s largest payment processors and providers of integrated products and services to more than 18 percent of the restaurant industry, will demonstrate its entire menu of secure solutions for restaurateurs, including a card data security solution and a comprehensive breach warranty.

At booth #8007 in the North Hall of McCormick Place in Chicago, Heartland will feature Heartland Secure™, a comprehensive credit/debit card data security solution that combines three powerful technologies, Heartland’s proprietary Heartland E3® end-to-end encryption and tokenization, and Europay, MasterCard and Visa (EMV), all working together to provide restaurateurs with the highest level of protection available against card-present data fraud.

By removing card data from the transaction, Heartland Secure provides restaurateurs with protection against point-of-sale (POS) intrusions, insider misuse, and other common sources of data fraud by eliminating the opportunity for criminals to capture and monetize card data.
