Endpoint & Patch Management

THE PROBLEM

Merchant Devices Are a Daily Point of Risk

Merchants rely on connected devices every day to process payments, run operations, and access business systems.

Without ongoing protection and maintenance, those systems can become vulnerable to:

Malware and suspicious activity

Unpatched software vulnerabilities

Outdated systems

Operational disruption

Most merchants do not have the internal IT resources to manage endpoint security consistently on their own.

THE SOLUTION

Extend Protection Beyond PCI

Endpoint & Patch Management helps payment providers offer practical device protection without adding operational burden to internal teams.

Instead of asking merchants to manage endpoint security and patching on their own, you can provide a structured, scalable service that helps reduce exposure across merchant systems.

FAQ

Does PCI compliance protect merchant devices?

PCI compliance helps establish a security baseline, but it does not provide ongoing endpoint protection, patch management, or continuous device monitoring.

What risks does Endpoint & Patch Management help reduce?

Endpoint & Patch Management helps merchants reduce exposure tied to malware, outdated software, unpatched vulnerabilities, and device-level security risks.

Why do merchants struggle with endpoint security?

Many small and mid-sized merchants do not have dedicated IT or security teams, making ongoing device protection and patch management difficult to maintain consistently.

Can payment providers offer endpoint protection without managing it internally?

Yes. Endpoint & Patch Management gives payment providers a scalable way to extend endpoint security services without building internal security infrastructure.

How does Endpoint & Patch Management create value for payment providers?

It helps payment providers expand beyond PCI with a practical security service that strengthens merchant trust, supports retention, and creates additional recurring revenue opportunities.
