Robin Leidenthal, Director of Industry Relations and Compliance at PayPal, will discuss various aspects of merchant security and the potential liabilities online retailers face if they do not adhere to the regulations surrounding those issues.

“Every online retailer must understand and build their payment processes around a secure financial infrastructure,” said Leidenthal. “It’s essential that online retailers have sophisticated fraud protection technologies and procedures in place – not only to secure protection against e-commerce crime, but to also prevent the loss of vital data.”
