Cryptographic Failures

In this post, we will understand basic cryptographic failures and introduce public and private encryption keys.

We shortlisted and are considering these blog series to be published but we do not have deadlines for these blog series as of now. Stay tuned!

In this post, we will list and understand additional PCI DSS requirements for different types of entities.

The organization’s overall information security policy sets the tone for the whole entity and informs personnel what is expected of them.

System components, processes, and bespoke and custom software should be tested frequently to ensure security controls continue to reflect.

Log mechanisms and the ability to track user activities are critical in preventing, detecting, or minimizing the impact of a data compromise.

Any physical access to cardholder data or systems that store, process, or transmit cardholder data provides the opportunity to criminals.

These requirements for identity and authentication are based on industry-accepted security principles and best practices.

Without a mechanism to restrict access based on a user’s need to know, a user may unknowingly be granted access to cardholder data.

For custom software, numerous vulnerabilities can be avoided by applying software lifecycle (SLC) processes and secure coding techniques.
