Visa, Everywhere You Want to Be
Visa's CISP PCI Program for Information Security
Fraud is the bane of the financial industry's existence. Financial institutions are constantly battling forgery, impersonation, and out-right theft and the advent of computers and the Internet, while increasing capability and efficiency, have exacerbated the problem. Visa has stepped in and started a information security program that seeks to revolutionize the industry.
Diminishing Perimeter
Security is no longer at the edge
For years the perimeter has been the focal point of security technology. What was once routers with access control lists designed to block traffic founded on basic characteristics has evolved into a myriad of sophisticated devices inspecting every detail of communications. However, successful attacks are on the rise with increasing impact to organizations. While perimeter technology may appear to have evolved significantly, it pales in comparison to the advancements in tactics, tools, and the cleverness of today's threats. To add to the malaise, companies are seeking to fully leverage the Internet and new application development strategies in an effort to support comprehensive information sharing needs of the business.
