Thales to Offer Prime Factors' Bank Card Security System
Prime Factors and Thales Extend Collaboration to Help Customers Build More Secure Payment Applications Faster with BCSS and the Thales payShield HSM
EUGENE, Ore., April 15, 2025 /CNW/ -- Prime Factors and Thales announced today that Thales will offer Prime Factors' Bank Card Security System (BCSS) – a software solution that helps simplify the orchestration of payment security in bespoke payment applications – through its global distribution networks.
'We are eager to provide tools for our customers to implement payment security quickly and easily,' said Todd Moore, Vice President of Data Security Products at Thales. 'BCSS delivers robust application-side payment security infrastructure and is remarkably complementary to the Thales payShield HSM. BCSS helps to accelerate application development, simplify security compliance, and includes pre-built integrations with the Thales payShield HSM that make it easier to implement and manage hardware security for payments.'
BCSS delivers out-of-the-box security functionality to help developers build secure payment applications in a fraction of the time, including:
'When Thales launched its Cloud-based Payment HSM Service, it became clear that BCSS was a key differentiator,' said James Torjussen, payShield Product Manager at Thales. 'The load balancing functionality and deployment flexibility of BCSS allows our joint customers to better manage cloud migrations - moving capacity, specific functions, or specific environments to the cloud smoothly, at a pace that makes sense for their business, without complex application re-development. BCSS seamlessly spans cloud and hybrid-cloud deployments and provides robust failover capabilities that reduce the timelines, costs, and risk of cloud migration.'
'BCSS, which has stood the test of security auditors for decades, is the ideal solution for enterprises that build and manage their own payment applications,' said Jose Diaz, Vice President of Products and Services at Prime Factors and Former Head of Payments Strategy at Thales. 'BCSS helps enterprises get to revenue faster, mitigate risk, and reduce implementation costs, as well as the total cost of ownership over time. Supporting Thales channel partners to help enterprises simplify payment security infrastructure feels like a natural step in our 30+ years of ongoing collaboration with Thales.'

Judge dismisses bid for acquittal in Zuma, Thales corruption trial
Former president Jacob Zuma is accused of 18 charges of corruption, racketeering, fraud and tax evasion linked to his allegedly corrupt relationship with his former financial advisor, Schabir Shaik. The State's case was declared trial-ready four years ago, but it has been delayed by repeated failed efforts to force the removal of prosecutor Billy Downer. On Tuesday, KwaZulu-Natal High Court Judge Nkosinathi Chili dismissed the summary acquittal applications Zuma and his French arms company co-accused, Thales, had lodged. KwaZulu-Natal High Court Judge Nkosinathi Chili has dismissed the summary acquittal applications of former president Jacob Zuma and French arms company Thales in which they cited 'unreasonable' delays in their corruption trial. While Chili said he did not want to apportion blame, the State argued that the delays had largely been caused by Zuma and, to a lesser degree, Thales. In an argument that Zuma threw his weight behind, Thales submitted that the delays had seen former Thales director Pierre Moynot and company boss Alain Thetard – described as pivotal defence witnesses – die. Their deaths, Thales argued, meant it was incapable of receiving a fair trial. On Tuesday, Chili said 'on the facts presented to this court', he was 'not persuaded that it was sufficiently established that Thales will suffer irredeemable, irreparable, or insurmountable prejudice if the State were to allow to continue with the prosecution in the face of the deaths of Messrs Thetard and Moynot'. He added that the trial court 'has a duty to consider all the evidence before it, including the non-availability of defence witnesses before returning a verdict'. 'I'm not persuaded either that Mr Zuma's right to a fair trial will be prejudiced by the non-availability of Mr Thetard and Mr Moynot,' Chili said before dismissing the summary acquittal applications. The case has been postponed to 4 December, when the State will apply for the trial to proceed regardless of any appeals launched by the former president and the arms company.

Russia may expand strategic bomber fleet, analysts warn
Russia has invested heavily in the repair of Tu-95MS strategic bombers, indicating plans to use these Soviet-era aircraft for many years. Source: the private intelligence company Dallas, writes UNIAN Ukrainian news agency Details: In March, the Russian Ministry of Defence approved and funded the overhaul of six Tu-95MS strategic bombers. According to available documents, a contract worth more than US$270 million was signed with the 360th Aviation Repair Plant in Ryazan (Russia) and the Beriev Aviation Scientific Technical Complex in Taganrog (Russia). Given the number of aircraft, the overhaul of one Tu-95MS could cost Russia more than US$45 million. "Meanwhile, at the Kazan Aviation Plant named for S.P. Gorbunov – the main production hub for Tupolev aircraft – the backlog includes seven new-build and repair orders for Tu-160 supersonic bombers, along with two Tu-22M upgrades… Among these aircrafts, four Tu-160s are already deep in modernisation, with completion slated by 2026," said Dallas analysts. "Compiling these initiatives, Russia's strategic bomber fleet could grow by nearly two dozen serviceable aircraft within the next few years, boosting its salvo capacity to over 100 long-range missiles. Such an arsenal poses a significant threat even to nations boasting advanced air-defense systems," Dallas experts emphasised. Background: It was previously reported that Kazakhstani specialists maintain Russian Su-30SM fighters using French equipment from Thales and Safran, despite sanctions. The Kazakh company Analyst Research Consulting (ARC) Group is collaborating with Russian forces and servicing Su-30SM aircraft, which are equipped with French aviation technology from Thales and Safran. As of 2024, Russia has up to 130 modernised Su-30SM fighters. During the war, Russian forces have lost at least 15 such aircraft. It was also reported that China has made thousands of deliveries to Russian companies, including sanctioned ones, which produce rocket launchers, armoured vehicles and strategic bombers. Additionally, Russia has proposed opening US airspace to its airlines as part of a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine, facing resistance from the EU. The EU remains uninterested in lifting air sanctions on Russia, and without European cooperation, Russian carriers would struggle to operate flights to the United States. European Pravda reported that Russian civil aviation, a key sector of the Russian economy, has been significantly impacted by unprecedented sanctions, including airspace closures, embargoes on spare parts and refusals to service Western-made aircraft. A notable example is the Sukhoi Superjet 100, which, due to a lack of Western spare parts, faces potential decommissioning. "The pride of Russian aviation" has become hazardous post-sanctions: the number of incidents doubled in two years. On 30 November 2024, five accidents occurred in a single day, leading to the aircraft being dubbed "winged horror". It was also reported that Russian airlines, under the pressure of Western sanctions, have begun losing aircraft. From late October 2023 to 26 June 2024, the number of airliners in the fleets of Russia's 13 largest carriers decreased by 3%, to 693 aircraft. Contrary to predictions, the complete collapse of Russian civil aviation has been averted due to substantial state subsidies. As reported in late December 2023, the Kremlin had allocated RUB 12 billion [US$120 million] to support the industry since February 2022 – twice the amount provided during the pandemic.
