2008-03-28 09:44:50 by Burton Group in Security and Risk Management Strategies Blog
 
...PCI compliant, but last week a breach changed all that. Last Monday, Scarborough, Maine-based Hannaford Brothers Co., a regional Grocery Store chain the Northeast U.S. (and the store I shop at and pay using my debit card) had a breach that exposed up to 4.2 million credit and debit cardholders to potential fraud The result of this breach so...

PCI compliance are you just checking the box?

...PCI) standards . I speak with many retailers in my role BitArmor helps them secure and manage cardholder data in their environments.

MUST-DO Logging for PCI?

2008-02-11 10:46:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -

The Hannaford PCI Fallout

2008-03-28 13:07:12 by Marc Othersen in Security & Risk Management
 
...PCI standard may change. Much depends on Hannaford disclosing the control failures leading to the data breach. The standard may be strengthened to address control areas that may have been overlooked. Should the controls that failed not be part of the current PCI standard, they will most likely be added in the future. Should the controls...

Got PCI? Another aspect of data security and PCI, I did not know

2007-12-06 17:17:00 by Manu Namboodiri in Data Protection, Management and Leakage
 
...PCI compliance. Hmmm we agree that this does not make sense, and there were many conjectures as to why this is the case. A few of the reasons put forth - they know how difficult the process is and are taking their time; they dont care about fines (the fines dont make a dent), it is too complex for the leaders etc My theory is this retailers...

The Article has images

...PCI certification. Although ASVs continue to drop their rates and reduce the requirements for compliance by issuing exceptions, its still a costly and intrusive process. Sure, pretty much anyone who signs up and completes payment achieves certification, but adoption rates are still low and only a fraction of the retail community, especially...

Rebecca Herold on PCI and Logging

2008-04-04 16:08:00 by Dr Anton Chuvakin in Anton Chuvakin Blog -
 
...PCI and logging. She also touches on using logs to deal with insiders. My ego is telling me to be upset since she doesn't mention either a " PCI Compliance " book (free chapter on logging for PCI is here ) or any of my other related writing, but I will survive it However, she makes one snafu that makes me cringe (and also think negative...
