The introduction of wireless technologies in retail has created a new avenue for data breaches, circumventing traditional security architectures. Several recently publicized data breaches in the retail industry have exploited wireless vulnerabilities. Attackers have been able to access sensitive information such as credit/debit cards resulting in brand damage, financial/regulatory liabilities and retail business disruption. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) is now mandating stricter wireless security measures, and the cost of non-compliance is significant. In this podcast Michael Dahn, an Information Security Consultant and the CTO of The Aegenis Group, sits down with us to explain the best methods for ensuring that your enterprise’s wireless network infrastructure meets and maintains current PCI compliance requirements.
