 A Forrester Research report estimates the cost of a credit card security breach to be between $90 and $305 per compromised record.While the threshold for PCI compliance is only a minimum standard, retailers recognize that failure to meet PCI requirements can lead to both financial penalties and long-term damage to customer trust and brand equity.
PCI requirements maintain that companies shall encrypt data at rest, which is a challenging and expensive endeavor for most retailers to undertake. For companies that cannot encrypt data at rest, compensating controls may be used.
Apani® EpiForce® allows an organization to create an identity-aware network that protects PCI-related data and network communications by isolating users and resources containing cardholder data into security zones, regardless of system platform or physical location. EpiForce logical security zones serves as compensating controls for companies unable to encrypt data at rest. Access to these zones is based on policy and traffic between users and systems is selectively encrypted. EpiForce provides flexibility and efficiency not available with traditional network security solutions.
