Lexington, MA, February 4, 2008—BladeLogic, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLOG), a leading provider of next-generation data center automation software, announced today that it will host a webinar on Thursday, February 7th, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. (ET) entitled, "Best Practices to Ensure Continuous PCI Compliance for the Data Center."
In today's Global, 24x7 Internet-driven economy, ensuring the security of transaction processes and payments is of paramount importance to merchants, payment device and services vendors, transaction processors and financial institutions.
Given the regulations mandated by leading credit transaction and settlement institutions, payment card industry (PCI) standards enable merchants to put in place change control and operational procedures to ensure the security of transactions. To achieve an acceptable level of PCI controls required by today's regulations, IT organizations need to continuously evaluate the current IT controls and procedures in their data centers. Since companies that fail to meet PCI regulatory standards could face large penalties or possible criminal charges, best practices in this area are critical to meeting compliance requirements.
In this webinar, Tom Large, Information Security & Privacy Officer at Alliance Data, and Khalid Kark, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, will detail best practices that companies across all vertical industries can implement to ensure effective data center security management, controls implementation and operational procedures. Through these best practices, payment industry and other IT professionals can find out how to:
• Build and maintain a secure payment network
• Protect cardholder data
• Ensure the maintenance of vulnerability management programs
• Implement strong access control measures
• Regularly monitor and test networks
• And ensure the maintenance of information security policies
