Transaction Trending EP19: Security Payments in an Online Environment, with Brad Wiskirchen, Kount
10-17-2018

ETA’s Payments Trends to Watch report forecasts that U.S. vendors will spend one billion dollars on security software this year alone. It’s a growing number, and it makes sense why. Though strong security has always been an essential cornerstone of the payments ecosystem, in a modern financial services market powered by data, it’s never been more important.
As technology rapidly evolves, it leaves a lot of open questions for payments technology companies about protecting their customers from fraud and breach. That’s where leaders like Brad Wiskirchen, CEO of Kount, come in. Kount is a leading provider of security solutions for online merchants and payments companies. As its founding CEO, Brad has built Kount into a preeminent force in payments security tech.
Brad joined Jason in the Kount podcast production studio at ETA’s Strategic Leadership Forum to talk about eCommerce and the future of the payments security in an increasingly online world.
