CHICAGO (February 24, 2010) - Trustwave, a leading provider of information security and compliance solutions, announces the appointment of Greg Leos to Vice President, Payment Partner Programs.

Leos has nearly 15 years of experience in the payments space. Prior to Trustwave, Leos spent nearly three years at RBS WorldPay, most recently as Senior Vice President of Small Business, where he was responsible for a national sales team of several hundred employees. Previously, Leos worked at TransFirst managing its national Independent Sales Channel. Leos has also been actively involved with the payment community, serving on the Electronic Transactions Association (ETA) ISO Advisory Committee for the past two years.

At Trustwave, Leos will be responsible for all new business development related to Trustwave's Level 4 Merchant Compliance Programs. This includes working with Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), acquirers and processors interested in implementing a PCI program for their merchant portfolios, using the innovative approach of Trustwave's TrustKeeper 3.0. This new ground-breaking Web portal is easy to use by all merchants, including non-technical users. By profiling merchant behavior pertaining to credit card acceptance and information security business practices, TrustKeeper 3.0 minimizes the effort required for merchants to comply, thereby increasing adoption and lowering the financial risks associated with data compromises.

"Acquirers, ISOs and processors are searching for a proven compliance partner to help them manage their merchant portfolio through the PCI DSS validation process," says Doug Klotnia, Executive Vice President of Product and Strategic Sales at Trustwave. "Greg's experience in the payment space, coupled with Trustwave's industry-leading technology, is a powerful combination for any acquirer, ISO or processor looking to implement a successful compliance program."
