PCI affects any company that processes, stores or transmits credit card information. The standards are designed to protect client information and deter fraud. The cost of not implementing the PCI standards can be severe. However, fear should not be the motivator for implementing PCI standards. Becoming PCI compliant is an excellent way to improve the security and IT standards of your organization. This white paper is written for executives and IT managers, regardless of technical ability.
HIPAA Compliance
Different industries have different regulatory requirements regarding the security of the sensitive information in their care. For healthcare providers, those requirements have been established by HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, which created standards for the storage, protection and transmission of all medical records.

Malware Attacks
Short for malicious software, Malware is designed to infiltrate a computers without the user being aware. Malware is a blanket term for any type of software created specifically to cause damage to a computer, a server or an IT network. The most common types of malware are viruses, worms, Trojans and spyware. The evolution of Web 2.0 adoption has created new security concerns that cannot be addressed by 1.0 solutions. A study commissioned by Secure Computing found that 73% of companies surveyed experienced a virus attack, 57% discovered spyware in their IT system, and more than 45% had to deal with Trojans and key loggers. And because the attacks are more sophisticated, it often takes longer to expose them – sometimes as long as 300 days or more.
