Abstract
A method for monitoring security of a point-of-sale terminal involves a terminal management server receiving from the point-of-sale terminal data indicative of a violation detected by the point-of-sale terminal of one or more security parameters. The violation is indicative of a compromise of the point-of-sale terminal. The point-of-sale terminal may maintain a network connection with the terminal management server. One or more of the security parameters may include a network connectivity status of the point-of-sale terminal, and the detected violation may include a termination of the network connection. The terminal management server may classify the detected violation of the one or more of the security parameters as potential fraudulent activity, and send a command to the point-of-sale terminal disabling functionality of the point-of-sale terminal.
