“The RSA PCI Solutions portfolio is designed to enable merchants to effectively discover and manage credit card information; secure that data, as well as access to the data and related technology systems; and then respond to audits and potential security threats,” said Steve Preston, Senior Director, Solutions Marketing, RSA, The Security Division of EMC. “The nCircle Certified PCI Scan Service, along with the RSA PCI Solutions portfolio, ensures that we are helping our customers move from a reactive to proactive stance in order to address compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard.”

This information provides merchants with actionable information to help them strategically focus resources on eliminating the highest priority threats to maintain maximum customer card data security and integrity for continued PCI compliance.
“PCI compliance is the next big security challenge for businesses of all sizes, especially in this era of continuous data breaches and identity theft,” said Stefan Petry, Vice President of Product Management, nCircle Network Security. “RSA and nCircle have collaborated to deliver a comprehensive approach to the education and services that organizations need to make sure they are PCI compliant.”nCircle
