The recently introduced McAfee(R) Easy PCI Plan specifies a powerful "triple play" of integrated protection and compliance solutions, along with certified PCI consulting and audit services provided by Foundstone Professional Services. The plan is designed to help companies achieve compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in advance of government deadlines and the season's biggest online shopping day -- Black Friday. The unique "triple play" offering includes solutions such as McAfee Total Protection(TM), McAfee Foundstone(R) and McAfee IntruShield. All three products map directly to PCI standard requirements, thereby helping clients pass critical PCI audits and achieve sustainable compliance. McAfee Foundstone Professional Services is a PCI-certified Qualified Security Assessor.
Dave DeWalt, chief executive officer at McAfee, said: "As a CEO, I understand the pain that companies feel as they try to achieve PCI compliance McAfee understands the importance of passing audits and sustaining multiple levels of security, and we understand the potential consequences of this looming deadline. The good news is that McAfee is well positioned to provide a full suite of protection and compliance tools that are designed to help companies not only pass PCI audits, but achieve sustained compliance as well."
PCI compliance standards are the result of high profile data breaches that cost companies an average of $300 per credit card account, according to Gartner Group. The standards have been in place for years, with companies falling into one of four categories based on the number of transactions they process. As of September 30, Level 2 merchants must
comply with twelve categories, covering requirements from process to policy to technology.
The powerful "triple play" Security Risk Management (SRM) solutions that directly map to well over half of the twelve distinct requirements of the latest PCI DSS standard (v1.1). When combined with certified McAfee consulting and audit services, the Easy PCI plan brings a practical and prescriptive approach for connecting the primary PCI pain points facing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 merchants. These pain points include:
1) passing the PCI audit and meeting the September 30 deadline,
2) choosing and deploying a layered security model that sustains compliance,
3) proactively protecting sensitive credit card data -- including the systems that store it -- with "good industry practices" for protection and prevention.
