Tripwire
has implemented a three-tiered approach to promoting the PCI Data
Security Standard awareness through customer education and
partnerships with technology and financial
organisations.
Tripwire is a
configuration audit and control solutions provider and is active
in multiple PCI-related organisations including the PCI Security
Standards Council and the PCI Security Vendor Alliance, two global
organizations whose mission it is to enhance payment account data
security by fostering broad adoption of the PCI Data Security
Standards and helping secure sensitive or confidential cardholder
data.
Tripwire has also
built relationships around PCI with financial and technology firms
such as Ambiron TrustWave, BMC Software, Bearing Point, and
Protiviti. These partnerships provide a clearer view for retailers
to the importance of enabling continuous PCI compliance, reducing
security exposure, and allowing businesses to focus on driving
efficiencies and innovation.
Leveraging its
market leading Configuration Audit and Control technology, Tripwire
Enterprise has helped many customers like VML and GSI, InStoreCard,
and Stamps.com establish PCI compliance. Tripwire is educating
customers with a PCI
Resource Centre unique with background, case studies, pod casts
and management papers.
"AMR Research is
in the process of conducting comprehensive research to analyse
retailer readiness, organizational accountability, and ongoing
costs for security and compliance. With PCI deadlines looming for
level one and level two merchants, tools to help monitor intrusions
and establish tight access controls are a necessity," said Robert
Garf, research director at AMR Research.
