Good security ensures compliance. But compliance doesn’t always ensure security. So how do you attain both?

Please join Avivah Litan, Research Vice President from Featured Analyst Firm, Gartner, Inc., as she discusses the topic of PCI Compliance in an on demand Webcast available now “Achieve Both PCI Compliance and Web Security”. Ms. Litan’s area of expertise includes financial fraud, authentication, identity theft, fraud detection and prevention applications and other areas of information security and risk. She also covers payment systems and financial flows in the business-to-consumer and business-to-business markets.

Joining Ms. Litan is an industry expert from Akamai Technologies, Neil Cohen, Director of Product Marketing APS/Site Products. Topics to be discussed include the best practices for addressing and overcoming today’s PCI compliance challenges. Most importantly, our experts will show you where to turn to find the right solution for your needs.

Tune in and Learn:

  • How to use a trusted tokenization service and a payment processing outsourcer to limit PCI compliance at your website, dramatically reduce your exposure to data breaches and protect your customer card data.
  • How to protect your organization from the surreptitious software and malware that allows criminals into the heart of the system and enabling them to steal data.
  • How to prioritize card security efforts so that you can overcome the challenges of encrypting your data at rest, segmenting your network to wall off card data, and encrypting your data in motion.

Attack Vectors and Data – Did you know…

  • 74% of attacks are caused by external hackers
  • 70% of attacks are discovered by third parties, not the breached enterprise
  • 50% of breaches aren’t discovered for months
  • 80% of breached records are compromised via Web applications (SQL injections)
  • Small merchants account for over 85% of all compromises
  • And unfortunately, since the chance of arrest by incident are less than 1%, attacks have become a lucrative business for hackers worldwide

You have the responsibility to adhere to the global standard and compliance framework set about by the PCI Security Standards Council regarding these credit card transactions. To better deal with today’s threats, and more consistently provide security assurance to your customers, watch this new program now.
