PKWARE contributing to the development of PCI Security Standards
Summary
The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process and preventing, detecting and mitigating criminal attacks and breaches. “In an era of increasingly sophisticated attacks on systems, PCI Security Standards and resources help organizations secure payment data and prevent, detect and mitigate attacks that can lead to costly data breaches,” said Mauro Lance, Chief Operating Officer of the PCI Security Standards Council. “By joining as a Participating Organization, PKWARE demonstrates they are playing an active part in improving payment security globally by helping drive awareness and adoption of PCI Security Standards.” “PCI data stored in documents and spreadsheets is an organizational risk from a data security and audit standpoint,” said Miller Newton, CEO of PKWARE. “PKWARE enables companies to find and redact credit card numbers in unstructured data, closing a significant security gap and eliminating the need for compensating controls. We are proud to partner with the PCI Security Standards Council, and we look forward to helping address the problem of cardholder information in unstructured data.”
