Overview: As business operations scale up and become increasingly dependent on Information Technology (IT), IT environments will continue to become more complex, exposing organizations to a wide array of risks, threats, and vulnerabilities that have a direct impact on the performance of the enterprise.

A growing regional air carrier needed a way to protect its customer data and achieve compliance at both level-1 and level-2 classifications. The Voltage Security solution combines the following technologies to deliver a simple and cost-effective solution across the entire company: Voltage Secure Stateless Tokenization (SST) technology, Voltage Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE), and Voltage Page-Integrated Encryption (PIE).

In today's global business environment, companies are increasingly finding their employees, business practices, and IT systems stretched across international boundaries. However, one element of a global enterprise remains surprisingly local: how to effectively manage data residency requirements and data privacy regulations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PCI Compliant Hosting

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.

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.
