A successful credit card company must be able to accurately assess its credit risk at any given time. Having an up-to-date picture of which clients may default on payments is critical to this process, not only amongst new applicants, but existing customers too. 

Compliance with PCI DSS has become a global requirement for any business or entity that processes credit card transactions as payment for goods and services. This paper explores the ROI implications and opportunities of PCI. 

EC Suite's preventive security approach has yielded a stronger security profile against malicious attacks, reduced overall IT and security operational expenses, and enhanced operational efficiencies. 

The findings of this survey suggest that despite PCI DSS regulation companies are still struggling with data security. However, it also suggests that companies that take a strategic approach to PCI compliance go through fewer data breaches. Learn more about leveraging PCI to get a broader, more effective, and more cost efficient security program. 

Matt Grand talks with Randy Abrams about a data breach at Radison Hotels. Unfortunately, an unknown number of their guests' credit card numbers were exposed to malicious hackers. In this podcast, Randy dishes out some advice on how to prevent this sort of data breach and what to do in the event that it’s already happened. 

Firewall and intrusion prevention systems across various enterprise networks routinely log hundreds of hacker attempts a day. To prevent successful attacks, two key detection approaches have evolved: signature-based and anomaly-based network behavior analysis (NBA). This E-Guide details each approach along with the pros and cons. 

This paper, designed for security and compliance professionals, illustrates how to achieve compliance on three of the most costly and complex sections: requirements 3, 6, and 10 of PCI DSS. This paper also highlights how Web application and database appliances can deliver resource effective compliance while maintaining cost efficiency. 

This whitepaper examines two areas of technical controls required by the PCI DSS relevant to configuration and change, which help security practitioners prevent breaches and get out from the PCI DSS checklist false sense of security. 

In this case study, learn how <i>bwin</i> used Novell Sentinel solution to improve security, reduce administrative effort and make it easier to demonstrate PCI DSS compliance. 

In this research report, we examine five of the critical issues that are creating new opportunities for the accounting profession and nine key strategies for obtaining competitive advantage. 

In this paper, you'll learn why high-efficiency AC will likely emerge as the dominant choice for data center power distribution. Topics covered include a review of the characteristics of AC & DC distribution, A mathematical model of the efficiency of two different AC distribution systems, and Why many of the DC benefits are unfounded. 

In this profile you will explore how to maximize future investment returns in more detail and review the key requirements for optimization solutions. You'll then be introduced to the Virtualization Management Maturity Model, an assessment and planning guide for achieving greater operational efficiency at any stage of virtualization.
