Third Brigade announced today that its Third Brigade Deep Security product is the first such solution to be validated under NSS Labs’ Product Report on PCI Suitability program.

Complexity and costs for merchants and banks is increased by Compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). A world leader in independent security product testing and certification, NSS Labs, is easing this pain by providing much needed 3rd party product validation.

President and CEO, Third Brigade, Wael Mohamed, said: "Merchants have technology and physical constraints restricting security deployments. They are looking for fewer, ideally even just a single agent that can protect their systems and applications from malware and attacks".

"There is no reason an attack against a store should go unnoticed for weeks. Third Brigade's real time detection and prevention protects operating systems, enterprise applications and custom web apps from known and unknown attacks, there is no excuse not to be protected", went on to say Mr. Mohamed.

The first host intrusion prevention system to complete NSS Labs’ suitability testing for use in a merchant environment is Third Brigade and covered:

    * Fulfillment of specific PCI DSS v1.1 requirements, including logging and reporting
    * Recommended Configuration Details for merchant environment deployment
    * Security Effectiveness
    * Appropriate Usage Recommendations
    * Product Stability and Reliability
