The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of industry regulations imposed by the major credit card companies to ensure the safety, security, and integrity of cardholder data. Any business that processes, stores, and transmits cardholder account data must comply with this complex new standard, and must be able to demonstrate that compliance through automated and manual audits of their systems. This white paper looks at the key challenges and requirements of PCI DSS as it relates to Microsoft Windows and Active Directory, and shows you how a third-party software solution can help with PCI compliance.

There are many compelling reasons for virtualizing Windows and Linux applications. Virtualization improves server utilization by allowing you to run multiple workloads on a single physical server. It reduces the number of physical servers you have to maintain, while allowing you to use less physical space and power while still improving scalability. All of these capabilities translate directly into lower costs, less complexity, and greater flexibility in your mixed IT environment.

Start-up Bitkoo is releasing as a commercial product identity-management technology developed and deployed by The Walt Disney Co. that it says provides cutting-edge authentication/authorization and auditing/compliance capabilities.
Bitkoo, however, isn’t just taking over commercial development of the technology that Disney calls Keystone. The start-up’s founder invented Keystone before leaving Disney.
Doron Grinstein, CEO of Bitkoo, brainstormed the idea and wrote the software for Keystone, which Disney has been using for nearly three years to protect access to many of its critical applications, such as the central reservation system at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
The Burton Group analyst firm last year called Keystone, “cutting edge” and featured a Disney presentation on Keystone at its annual Catalyst conference. The firm said Keystone’s ability to move authorization responsibilities away from applications “is one of the goals we have had as an industry for a number of years.”
Now the application, which handles nearly 10 million authorization requests per year at Disney, is available to the public.
Keystone provides a centralized engine that eliminates the need for authorization mechanisms to be built into applications. Applications and Web services written with tools such as Java, .Net, Delphi and COM need only a single line of code to turn their authorization duties over to Keystone.
Keystone’s access controls can be dialed down not only to secure individual applications but also to secure access to specific buttons, text boxes and functions within an application, as well as variables such as what times, from what IP address and under what conditions a user can access an application. In addition, auditing capabilities help organizations manage compliance requirements.
Disney, which is known for the quality of its homegrown technology, said late last year it was looking for someone to take Keystone commercial.
“I went to Disney and said the best place for Keystone is with its creator,” said Grinstein. “I have a great vision for it.”
