A method comprising:
- receiving, by a terminal management computing system, a request for an update of an encryption system from a remote payment terminal via a closed network, wherein the terminal management computing system is in network communication with a plurality of remote payment terminals via the closed network, wherein each of the plurality of payment terminals comprises a respective encryption system;
- receiving, by the terminal management computing system, the update to the encryption system from a vendor global terminal management service;
- and
- transmitting, by the terminal management computing system, the update to the encryption system to the payment terminal via the closed network.
A terminal management computing system comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for an update of an encryption system from a remote payment terminal via a closed network, wherein the terminal management computing system is in network communication with a plurality of remote payment terminals via the closed network, wherein each of the plurality of payment terminals comprises a respective encryption system;
- receiving the update to the encryption system from a vendor global terminal management service;
- and
- transmitting the update to the encryption system to the payment terminal via the closed network.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a request for an update of an encryption system from a remote payment terminal via a closed network, wherein the terminal management computing system is in network communication with a plurality of remote payment terminals via the closed network, wherein each of the plurality of payment terminals comprises a respective encryption system;
- receiving the update to the encryption system from a vendor global terminal management service;
- and
- transmitting the update to the encryption system to the payment terminal via the closed network.
