The Five New PCI Compliance Rules You Need to Know

The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.

As someone whose business deals in credit cards, you likely know that new PCI DSS updates are on the way for Oct. 31, 2016.

In addition, a number of “recommended best practices” became requirements last July. Those new requirements from last year included:

  • Penetration testing
  • System inventory
  • Strong authentication
  • Antimalware enforcement
  • Stronger password rules

The latter is especially appropriate, since 63% of confirmed data breaches in 2015 involved weak, default or stolen passwords.*

Take a look at this tech brief, “The Five New PCI Compliance Rules You Need to Know,” to review your compliance status and make sure it’s up to date.
