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.

Vulnerability-assessment and endpoint security firm eEye Digital Security on Monday announced its first hardware appliance incorporating its software products.
According to eEye’s vice president Morey Haber, the rack-mountable appliance incorporates several of eEye’s applications, including Retina Network Security Scanner software, the Blink Enterprise and Professional Client Security with antivirus and the REM Security Management Console.
Called the REM Security Management Appliance 1505, it can scan the network for both known and unauthorized devices, including servers, desktops, routers and switches to identify missing patches, misconfiguration and other vulnerabilities.
Based on the Intel Xeon Dual-Core 5130 2.0Ghz, the 1505 appliance can analyze event data and track the remediation progress.
The main reason eEye decided to offer the appliance is to ease the setup and configuration time, which would typically run between one to four hours to load and configure the software versions of eEye products on a server.
“The appliance takes about 15 to 20 minutes to start a scan,” Haber said. “With the appliance, the user doesn’t need a keyboard and mouse, as it has a Web interface for maintenance.”
The appliance is protected by Blink Professional intrusion-prevention software that use a behavior-monitoring approach to protect the unit’s software against threats without requiring system patches or virus signatures.
Haber pointed out that the REM Security Management Appliance 1505 uses the Windows 2003 Server embedded platform, which has been hardened to conform to the U.S. Department of Defense standard known as the “Gold” Security Technical Implementation Guide for hardening Windows. The appliance also includes the database MS SQL Server 2005 Workgroup embedded.
If it’s determined a Microsoft patch is required at any juncture, eEye will push it out to the device, alleviating any need for the user to patch the appliance. The 1505 appliance can scan as many as 15,000 managed devices and manage and deploy as many as 5,000 endpoint security assets.
The REM Security Management Appliance 1505, which starts at $23,495, is expected to ship early August.

This is Not Expensive!By Anonymous on July 27, 2007, 3:59 pmI’ve seen here that many are calling the REM-1505 Appliance expensive! Are you kidding me? The cost of the REM-1505 is actually less than any of eEye’s competitors...
