In an interview with BankInfoSecurity, Heartland Payment Systems CEO Bob Carr discusses how companies should react to a breach.

Carr, whose company experienced a large breach in 2008, adds, "Over the past three years, we've overcome it mainly because we took responsibility for it; we weren't trying to blame anybody else."
