Meet Endpoint Security Requirements & Ensure PCI Compliance

The use of payment cards worldwide has prompted a growing number of attacks on cardholder data. These attacks include hacking by outsiders, the physical theft of storage media and illegal activities by company employees. The growing number of remote users -- often with laptops, handhelds, smartphones, USB drives and CD-DVDs— has compounded the risk of these data security breaches.

To address these security issues, American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa International developed the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). The standard is based on 12 data-centric requirements that combine the use of data encryption and end-user access control with activity monitoring and logging. PCI DSS applies to credit card payment processors, card issuers, businesses that accept cards for payment or organizations that process card transactions.
