Encryption no longer an optional technology

For many years, encryption was something companies could choose to use if they wanted an extra degree of security for their data. However, the days of optional encryption are gone forever. Today, companies in a variety of industries are subject to regulations that mandate encryption and other security measures, and face stiff penalties for failure to adequately protect their data. Even if a company is not subject to these types of regulations, many states have laws requiring companies to disclose security breaches in which unencrypted customer data has been compromised.

Net Shoppers Bullied Into "Verified By Visa" Program

bluefoxlucid writes "According to The Register, several banks are forcing users to opt-in to the Verified by Visa optional service by locking their cards if and when they encounter a Verified by Visa participating site and fail to opt-in. Register reader Steve says, 'This seems like a strange way to implement a voluntary system. On most of the retailers' websites there is no clue that you are about to be challenged by Verified by Visa until you attempt to complete the transaction. This means that you trigger the "fraud protection" unintentionally. And when you have located a retailer who doesn't require Verified by Visa to complete a purchase, you can't because your account is on hold.' Further, '[I]n some cases resetting the password is all too easy.

Reduce the Burden of PCI Section 3: A New Approach to Credit Card Encryption

With the advent of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), encrypting stored credit card numbers is no longer optional. Any company that stores, processes, or transmits credit card information —regardless of size or volume of transactions —must encrypt stored credit card data or face serious consequences for non-compliance, including fines of up to $500,000, he loss of brand integrity, and erosion of market value. While the PCI standard offers road guidance —featuring rules on the proper use of firewalls, computer access controls, anti-virus software, and more —it s the encryption requirements that are proving to be among the most difficult or organizations to address. According to a study conducted by Verisign Global Security Consulting Services, failure to address the data encryption requirements of PCI is the most c
