"As technological innovation is the backbone of our organization, we are honored to be recognized as one of the top 250 companies in this listing," said Bob Carr, Heartland's chairman and chief executive officer. "We're steadfastly committed to strengthening payments security through the development of end-to-end encryption solutions and industry-wide collaboration -- helping protect merchants and cardholders from the ever-growing threat of cyber crime."
InformationWeek recognized Heartland for its plans to implement end-to-end encryption (E3(TM)) technology for payments processing. E3 is being designed to safeguard cardholder data at rest and in motion throughout the lifecycle of payments transactions -- from the moment of card swipe...to and through the payment processor's network...and to the card brands. For more information on E3, visit E3secure.com.
InformationWeek also recognized Heartland for its email, file and document encryption initiatives to facilitate secure communication internally, as well as between the company and its business partners.
InformationWeek identifies and honors the nation's most innovative users of information technology with its annual 500 listing, now in its 21st year, and also tracks the technology, strategies, investments and administrative practices of America's best-known companies. The InformationWeek 500 is unique among corporate rankings because it spotlights the power of innovation in information technology, rather than simply identifying the biggest IT spenders.
