The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) 2.01 dictates that organizations processing and storing credit card data just comply with a set of well-defined audit requirements in twelve areas of cardholder data management and privacy. Compliance with PCI DSS 2.0 can be expensive, challenging, time-consuming, and disruptive, as cardholder data is often stored, transmitted, and used in many different applications within an organization, sometimes even beyond the organization's IT firewalls.
Catbird vSecurity is an integrated network security solution purpose-built for virtualized infrastructure with continuous monitoring, automated enforcement, and real-time proof of compliance capabilities that accelerate virtualization and dramatically increase operational efficiencies.
This document introduces a unique approach from Voltage Security that combines data encryption and masking technology in one, which can vastly simplify data privacy, whilemitigating data leakage at a fraction of the cost of prior approaches. One fundamental technology is Voltage Security's Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE), which for the first time, allows encryption 'in place' in databases and applications, without significant IT impact.
Organizations seeking to protect sensitive and mission-critical data quickly realize that there is no single answer to keep all systems completely secure. Online data security is a complex, rapidly evolving landscape, requiring robust and layered protections. Encryption is one tool in a comprehensive defense-in-depth strategy to mitigate the risk of accidental and intentional data breaches.
As a member of the VMware Partner Network, Catbird published this addendum to the VMware Solution Guide for PCI DSS. Forsythe, a QSA, has confirmed that Catbird control elements are in line with PCI Guidance. Catbird vSecurity enables continuous policy monitoring and automated enforcement for the PCI DSS framework.
Voltage SecureData Enterprise brings a unique, proven data-centric approach to protection – where the access policy travels with the data itself – by permitting data encryption and tokenization without changes to data format or integrity, and eliminating the cost and complexity of issuing and managing certificates and symmetric keys.
Voltage Security delivers a secure, scalable and proven data protection solution that seamlessly protects all the key data that is critically linked to every facet of the business. Leveraging breakthrough encryption technologies, our powerful data protection solutions allow any company to seamlessly secure all types of sensitive data.
Co-sponsored by Catbird and VigiTrust, this paper addresses overcoming the challenges of scoping for Cardholder Data, including scope management, assessment preparation, continuous compliance considerations, operation impacts and do's and don'ts of virtualization security.
The global financial services company has a major credit card processing business. Like other credit card companies, it is imperative that they comply fully with the PCI DSS standards and procedures. Before Voltage Security, they were engaged in a security and compliance program costing tens of millions of dollars.
Large organizations worldwide are working to develop and deploy Big Data analytical facilities alongside their established business intelligence infrastructure. These initiatives are motivated in nearly equal parts by the conviction that new business insights and opportunities are buried in the avalanche of new data, by the knowledge that conventional business intelligence systems are unequal to the task, and by the fear that competitors will be first to master and exploit the available new data streams.
Investing in risk management means investing in business sustainability – designing a comprehensive business continuity and disaster recovery plan is about analyzing the impact of a business interruption on revenue.
Engaging customers online is a necessity for every business today. Brick and mortar traditional retail shopping experiences compete aggressively with online buying experiences, with local customers often choosing to buy online even if the store is right down the street. Key banking and bill processing transactions are only a mobile app away, making both e-commerce transactions and the the number of end points touching cardholder data prolific. Established companies have to become online and mobile before the younger, nimbler competition absconds with the mobile market share. Nascent startups have to provide mature transaction security to protect their reputation with customers, and access to credit lines.
Momentum behind Big Data is growing with recognition of the competitive advantage for companies who successfully harness Big Data versus those who delay. "Data-driven decision-making enables a statistically and economically significant lead in profitability and productivity"*, according to the Harvard Business Review.
