Security is a paramount concern for any business dealing with online transactions. PSPs employ several security measures to protect data and prevent fraud:
1. Encryption: Data is encrypted during transmission to prevent unauthorized access. 2. Tokenization: Sensitive information is replaced with a token that can be used for processing transactions without exposing the original data. 3. Fraud Detection Tools: Many PSPs use machine learning and other technologies to identify and prevent fraudulent activities. 4. Compliance: PSPs often comply with industry standards such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) to ensure high levels of security.
