UK retailer Marks
& Spencer has confirmed it will secure its 16,000+ point of
sale (POS) systems and enforce Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data
Security Standard (DSS) using application control software from
US-based Bit9.
Bit9 provides
"whitelisting"
software. This allows only approved applications to run or approved
devices to access the network. By stopping malicious, illegal and
unauthorised software from running, it prevents data leakage and
protects against malicious software.
