9 Ways To Secure Your Store Systems And Ensure PCI Compliance

As a retail security professional, you are challenged with maintaining a constant state of PCI compliance and keeping your infrastructure safe using best-of-breed security solutions that help, rather than hinder, your quest to validate your systems. Endpoint protection that is based on detecting known malware is demonstrably ineffective—and has the potential to create numerous inefficiencies across your organization. In addition, constant updating of security patches and antivirus software libraries can slow response times and leave endpoints vulnerable to APT attacks. Besides potential breaches of your customers’ personal information, as well as damage to your brand, a lack of endpoint control can also put you at risk for steep PCI noncompliance and regulatory penalties— fines that can range anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per month.

Here are nine strategies to think about when looking to take control of your security and reduce the burden of achieving and maintaining PCI compliance.
