The Retailer's Guide to Becoming and Remaining PCI Compliant

The proliferation of Windows XP point-of-sale systems is a good example of this type of issue. By hardening systems to the business rules for the retail endpoints, retail systems that are no longer supported can remain secure and compliant. A trust-based approach helps to ensure vulnerability violations are taken out of the regulatory mix, providing a valid option to the required patching process that would be needed under traditional approaches. Patches can be applied on any pre-defined schedule rather than under the schedule of the OS or the compliance regulations. The trust-based solution deployed across the endpoints will eliminate the risk of compliance vulnerabilities and provide intelligent real-time monitoring of the file system, based on a set of "known good."
