Abstract:

PCI is shorthand for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) – a comprehensive set of information security requirements originally developed by MasterCard and Visa to protect personal and financial data about cardholders. PCI affects the network and IT operations of all organizations that store, process or transmit credit cardholder data, including retail stores, toll-free sales catalogs, online merchants and back-room service providers. During the last few years, an unprecedented number of exposures or losses of personal financial data by some of these organizations have triggered calls for strict regulation. The credit card industry is stepping up efforts to strengthen cardholder data security by raising member validation requirements for compliance with PCI. Qualys provides the leading vulnerability scanning solution for Requirement 11 (of 6 categories and 12 requirements for security controls): the regular testing of security systems and processes.
