Enterprise Application Whitelisting
Achieve PCI Compliance
Four out of five cardholder breaches occur at the point of sale. That's why so many retailers and merchants are investing in protecting their cardholders' sensitive information by complying with the Payment Card Industry's Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
This security framework requires merchants to meet twelve security standards ranging from password management to anti-virus protection to information security policies.
Many companies are discovering their most vulnerable PCs are at the point-of-sale (POS) — Windows computers at stores, retail outlets, and remote locations. These PCs are more susceptible to hackers and malicious software because they lack on-site IT resources and are often off-line, making common security practices such as patching and antivirus signature updates extremely difficult.
Bit9 Parity application control and device control solutions protect data at these endpoints by locking down PCs to a standard software and portable storage device configuration known as a "whitelist." This allows you to:
- Identify unauthorized software on your PCs
- Lock down the POS system so only authorized software is allowed to run
- Audit every file copied to and from the computer
- Prevent data leakage by controlling access to all portable storage devices
