Challenge: The security of personal credit card information

Retail organizations that process financial transactions are under increasing pressure to better protect personal consumer data.

Over the past few years several large retail organizations have been tainted by embarrassing media stories uncovering a significant breach of private data. Specific challenges faced by retail organizations include:

• Protecting IT resources in an environment that is highly distributed across many locations (i.e. stores, ATMs, vendors, etc.)
  
• Log management across all systems that store and/or manage sensitive credit card holder information
  
• Protecting information from threats that are extremely complex and sinister including phishing, insider theft, and spyware
  
• Difficulty delivering IT security in a market that is highly cost sensitive
  
• Difficulty meeting the security management requirements of Payment Card Industry Data Card Standard (PCI-DSS)
  
• Cleaning up after data breach including: notification laws, investigation, and litigation
