Requirement 6.6 of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) has introduced new standards for information security, but at the same time it allows organisations to choose between an application-layer firewall and an extensive code review when implementing the new security requirements.
To help businesses meet the new PCI security standards, Breach Security has developed WebDefend™, a web application firewall appliance that makes the web security implementation process faster and easier.
The Guide to PCI Compliance for Web Applications, updated for version 1.2 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is a white paper that identifies compliance challenges related to web application security and attempts to resolve the dilemma between reviewing code or deploying a web application firewall when upgrading security systems to meet the new PCI security requirements. Breach Security's PCI DSS white paper looks at the drawbacks of code reviews and advantages of web application firewalls in order to guide businesses through compliance challenges in the security implementation process. To find out how to make the right choice for your business and how Breach Security's WebDefend web application firewall appliance can facilitate the process for you, read the Guide to PCI Compliance for Web Applications.
An Evaluation of Breach Security WebDefend™ Web Application Firewall Relative to the Payment Card Industry is a white paper authored by The Aegens Group, a Breach Security Partner hired to conduct a functional evaluation of WebDefend's applicability within the Payment Card Industry. The paper reviews the WebDefend application firewall and provides insight into product implementation and support, but it also gives an overview of the PCI DSS at large, the current state of industry compliance, and factors that medium to large-sized businesses need to consider when implementing new security features to their systems. Web application security is discussed in light of the occurrence and causes of data breaches in the Payment Card Industry, which in turn provides a solid foundation for determining the effectiveness of the WebDefend™ application layer firewall.
