Protection From Data Breaches

TouchNet Information Systems has launched Seek-N-Secure, a combination of service and technology that guards colleges and universities from data breeches. Seek-N-Secure enables schools to identify payment points throughout a campus; develop a compliance strategy; and leverage patent-pending, "heat-seeking" software to isolate and protect sensitive data (such as credit card numbers, bank account information, and Social Security numbers). The process combines confidential services and software not only to find potentially sensitive files, but also to help identify business practices that contribute to the accumulation of that data.
