PCI Compliance
Visa, MasterCard and other payment card companies
have collaborated to create a single set of worldwide requirements, called
the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, for consumer data
protection across the entire industry. The PCI Data Security Standard
aligns Visa's Account Information Security (AIS) program, also known as
Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) in the U.S., and
MasterCards' Site Data Protection (SDP) program, streamlining
requirements, compliance criteria and validation processes.
Protecting your data and network requires intimate knowledge of two internationally accepted security models - the first is MITRE's CVE program and the second is the ISO17799 standard. CVE will help you self-assess and document the weak spots in your network assets - your common vulnerabilities and exposures. NetClarity's NACwalls scan corporate networks for devices that may contain CVEs exploited by hackers that firewalls cant defend against. NACwalls also alert customers and block against malicious and un-trusted network access at all points on the network, whether wired or wireless. NACwalls are proactive appliances that take just minutes to install. Continuously scanning for vulnerabilitys across every device on a network, NACwalls can stop threats within milliseconds NetClarity's NACwalls detect & respond to threats from network connected computers, returning mobile users, wireless devices, new devices and even detect imitation users (spoofed machines). NACwalls respond in milliseconds to un-trusted and potentially hazardous computer assets shutting off their network access in less time than it took to read this sentence.

It also addresses merchants' and acquirers' concerns about having to meet more than one set of standards to accomplish a single goal. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in fines to merchants and card processors which reach as high as $500,000 per incident for those out of compliance at the time of the breach. Each retailer, e-commerce company, ISP hosting e-commerce transactions and card processing company needs to be aware which level it is classified as to achieve compliance.
