The reason why is simple: PCI DSS stipulates the proper processing, storage, and transfer of credit card data\u2014a vital component of all online transactions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PCI DSS compliance, as determined by the PCI Security Standards Council, consists of three deceptively simple main parts:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assessing business processes involving credit card data and checking them for potential vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eliminating detected vulnerabilities and avoiding credit card storage whenever possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compiling and submitting required compliance reports. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, compliance rarely is quite as simple as it appears. Each individual payment brand, such as Visa and Mastercard, evaluate and enforce PCI DSS compliance differently. Each may also have different compliance validation levels with which your enterprise must comply. Additionally, proper PCI DSS compliance requires a thorough understanding of how credit card payment data is processed and moved throughout your network\u2014not always a guarantee. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>The Consequences of PCI DSS Compliance Failures <\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The consequences of PCI DSS compliance failures include the typical and expected consequences for failing to meet regulatory, such as loss of consumer confidence, loss of sales, and the legal costs of resolving subsequent lawsuits. However, PCI DSS compliance failures have unique consequences such as the losses from customer fraud and the termination of payment card acceptance privileges by major providers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Obviously, this could spell disaster for your online business and for your customers\u2019 experience\u2014hurting your enterprise even more over the long term. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Top PCI DSS Compliance Failures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In order to avoid a PCI DSS compliance failures, you have to know what behaviors and vulnerabilities to protect against. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here are a few of the top PCI DSS compliance failures your enterprise could face, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/alienvault-top-10-pci-dss-compliance-pitfalls-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AlienVault<\/a>: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Failing to Patch your Systems<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Failing to patch your network system for security vulnerabilities is one of the most common cybersecurity mistakes enterprises make in the modern era of the data vulnerability. PCI DSS compliance failures will follow in the wake of an unpatched system. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, PCI DSS compliance rules stipulate networks handling credit card payment data must be patched regularly. For example, critical security patches must be installed within a month of release according to the mandates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To alleviate this problem, patch your assets and applications regularly, automatically scheduling them if necessary. SIEM can help your enterprise monitor for potential security holes. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Failing to Shut Down Third-Party Vendor Remote Access After Use<\/b><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the other major sources of enterprise data vulnerabilities and PCI DSS compliance failures stem from third parties being granted access and that access never being rescinded. Always take the time to terminate access when the third-party\u2019s activity is finished. Better yet, schedule the access to revoke automatically after a set period of time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, SIEM alerts can be tailored to alert to suspicious third-party activity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To find out more about the top PCI DSS compliance failures and how to avoid them, download the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/alienvault-top-10-pci-dss-compliance-pitfalls-and-how-to-avoid-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Top 10 PCI DSS Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them<\/a>\u201d whitepaper courtesy of AlienVault.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the top PCI DSS compliance failures your enterprise may yet face?
