A logical map of your internal infrastructure is a key requirement in establishing security, monitoring threats and testing networks. PCI Standard The PCI (Payment Card Industry) standard lays out strong rules that apply to any network component, server or application included in, or connected to, the cardholder data environment. As a consequence, hosting providers and online merchants are severely affected by the new regulations. Applications must not hinder a merchants' ability to implement them into the secure network environment. Applications should not interfere with the use of network address translation, port address translation, traffic filtering network devices, anti-virus protection or encryption. In order for a merchant to stay in good standing, it is required to complete an annual self-assessment to measure its compliance with the PCI data security standard and undergo a quarterly system perimeter scan by a certified vendor. Service providers and merchants that wish to process credit card payments face penalties if they fail to comply. LiveTime Service Management and LiveTime Discovery provide the tools to assist in the management and self-assessment of the PCI Standard. LiveTime Service Manager adheres to the security requirements of this standard and manages the entire audit trail of individual IT assets within Incident, Problem and Change management processes. |
