PCI DSS: Protect Credit Card Data

PCI DSS, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, is a global industry standard of 12 requirements designed to protect credit card data, which in turn protects personal information and identities, as well as your company's reputation.

PCI DSS applies to any company that processes, stores, or transmits credit card information, anywhere in the world. It is not specific to any industry, and it is not only for publicly traded companies.

Cisco network security solutions provide comprehensive PCI DSS compliance, including:

• PCI validated architectures: Architectures built and audited by a PCI Qualified Security Assessor

• PCI Security Standards Council: Participation in the council, which enables Cisco to influence the PCI DSS and other standard updates and Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
