This paper discusses how protecting cardholder data is a critical and mandatory requirement for all organizations that process, store or transmit information on credit or debit cards and the requirements and guidelines for securing cardholder data are specified in the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS). 

This document presents a reference architecture and additional controls needed to address the three cloud challenges to achieve PCI compliance. 

Security information and event management (SIEM) plays a critical role in meeting the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and many other industry standards. In this paper, gain a in-depth look into the specific requirements of PCI DSS and how SIEM technologies can help achieve compliance, while reducing risk. 

In this case study, learn how Follett Corporation was able to overcome their risk and compliance challenges by replacing existing processes with a single enterprise platform for all GRC programs that enabled streamlined and automated compliance, better visibility, and more. 

One of the biggest challenges and concerns of businesses moving to the cloud is ensuring regulatory compliance and security. Discover how Patronpath, a company that processes and handles online credit card transactions for customers, increased scalability and decreased costs by adopting PCI-compliant cloud services. 

This paper uncovers how organizations can meet the security requirements recently published in a report by the PCI Security Standards Council's Virtualization Special Interest Group (SIG), and offers key recommendations and best practices for everything from risk assess­ment strategies to technology selection. 

Read this expert guide to ensure your virtual environment is in compliance with PCI DSS 2.0 and avoid common errors made in the auditing process. 

Noted author Jim Metzler reports on the emergence of vWOCs. From the data center to the branch, virtualization is enabling a revolution in how WAN optimization is acquired and deployed. Whether combined with traditional physical appliances or fully virtualized, the new choices make universal network optimization a reality. 

Adhering to the requirements of the PCI DSS, especially in a cloud computing environment, is no easy task and unfortunately there is no one-size-fits all approach. This guide offers expert insight on PCI in the cloud as well as key guidance to help you navigate through the cloud to meet compliance goals.
