Meeting PCI DSS Security Requirements
Web applications have become a "soft spot" for cybercriminals interested in stealing credit card information. To combat the proliferation of online fraud, the Payment Card Industry (PCI) took steps to protect cardholder data by addressing the scourge of application level attacks in its Data Security Standard (DSS).
The PCI DSS stipulates that any company that accepts credit, debit or bank cards must take special steps to secure its web applications. Section PCI DSS 6.6 requires that companies either install an application layer firewall in front of Web applications, or have all custom application code viewed for vulnerabilities by an organization that specializes in application security. The recent recommendation is to take both steps simultaneously.
Non-compliance with the standard may result in security breaches, lost customers, potential lawsuits and fines.
