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.

Today's enterprise network provides more than simply a technology infrastructure. It's an enabler for the enterprise, supporting mission critical applications, creating operational efficiencies and increasing productivity gains. Foundry Networks provides the ideal foundation for a multi-vendor network.
LAN switching vendors are expected to roll out voice product enhancements and partnerships at this week's VoiceCon Orlando conference.
Extreme Networks plans to unveil a software upgrade to its security appliances designed to better safeguard VoIP traffic. (Compare VoIP security products.) Separately, HP ProCurve will join the newly formed Mitel Solutions Alliance (MSA) for third party interoperability.
The moves demonstrate the growing importance of VoIP traffic recognition, treatment and protection for switch vendors. The migration to IP telephony is fueling sales of Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches to energize VoIP deployments. And the enterprise telephony market grew to $9.6 billion in 2007, marked by a 29% increase in IP phone shipments, according to Infonetics.
That’s why switch vendors are aligning themselves with VoIP companies. Last week, Foundry Networks forged a “strategic” partnership with Mitel under its recently-formed IronPowered Technology Alliance Program; and Enterasys recently unveiled an integration relationship with IP telephony vendor ShoreTel to develop security policies for VoIP traffic generated by ShoreTel equipment.
Security policy is also the core of Extreme’s enhancements coming this week. The company plans to unveil software that incorporates behavior-based rules for its Sentriant security appliance to protect IP telephony and VoIP traffic.
These security rules will help mitigate the threat of malicious users and hackers who attempt to exploit vulnerabilities and breach the IP network, Extreme says. Based on these rules, users or devices that demonstrate destructive behavior when entering the network can be addressed to preserve the quality of voice communications.
A packaged set of rules is available now for Sentriant. With these rules, the appliances will better protect VoIP gateways, SIP servers and VoIP phones, Extreme says.
Protection mechanisms are triggered if a significant amount of traffic anomalies are seen, the company says. Extreme says the new Sentriant software has been certified to interoperate with Avaya, ShoreTel and Siemens VoIP gear.
