Las Vegas, NV (April 13, 2010) – MagTek, Inc., a global leader in retail electronic payment security, today announced that it will demonstrate its MagneSafe security solution during the Electronic Transactions Association's "Technology Showcase" at the ETA Annual Meeting & Expo, April 13-15, at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, NV.

In keeping with the ETA Technology Committee's request for what can be done to secure payments with advanced technologies, MagTek will demonstrate how existing payment cards, the consumers who present them and the merchants who accept them can be protected with a layered approach to card data security without the hassles and expenses of major systems changes.

"MagTek is pleased to be part of the ETA's Technology Showcase where industry insiders can see first-hand the value in MagneSafe's ability to deliver dynamic payment card data with little or no changes to existing infrastructure," says Andy Deignan, vice president global marketing and strategy for MagTek. "It is important for all of the participants in the payments process to understand that securing cardholder sensitive data starts at the earliest point possible, the card swipe."

Technology Showcase demonstrations will take place on April 13th from 6-7 p.m. PST, April 14th from 11:30-12:30 p.m. and again from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Immediately following each session, Andy Deignan of MagTek will be available for one-on-one interviews to discuss MagTek's approach to end to end transaction security.
