Verint® Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: VRNT) today
announced continued implementations of the robust, end-to-end
encryption and recording capabilities in its Impact 360® Workforce
Optimization™ software suite from Verint Witness Actionable
Solutions®, particularly across global organizations in financial
services, retail and other industries that have prioritized data
security and a commitment to protecting customer information.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
continues to serve as a catalyst for data security in global
organizations, while technology serves as a key enabler in
attaining compliance. Verint’s Impact 360 Recording™, Impact 360
Quality Monitoring™, and Impact 360 Desktop and Process Analytics™
software helps customers enhance the protection of customer data
and recording processes, while adding robust encryption and key
management, a secure storage environment, and the option to not
record certain sensitive data at all.
The company’s Impact 360 Desktop and Process Analytics solution
comprises a host of unique capabilities that also are helping
Verint customers address a critical requirement inherent in PCI
compliance: the ability to initiate a halt of recording to avoid
the capture of what the PCI Security Standards Council calls
Sensitive Authentication Data (SAD)—that is, data for which storage
is prohibited by the PCI DSS—and then automatically resume that
recording again, via agent desktop events. The option for added web
application firewall support covers another key dynamic that is
available through Verint’s partnership with Barracuda Networks.
An Added Layer of Defense with Barracuda Networks’ Web
Application Firewall Protection
Verint’s call recording, quality monitoring and workforce
management software has been successfully tested and validated
against the Barracuda Web Application Firewall from Barracuda
Networks. With this added option, customers can experience the
benefit of an additional layer of defense against such common and
complex issues as SQL injections, cross-site scripting attacks,
session tampering, and buffer overflows for both internal and
external facing applications. Barracuda Networks’ expertise in
protection against security vulnerabilities enables Verint
customers to be confident in their choice of a Barracuda Web
Application Firewall, knowing it has been thoroughly tested with
the Impact 360 solutions. While Verint follows the Rational Unified
Process (RUP) and other best industry practices in software
development, it recommends the use of application firewalls as a
best practice to help ensure a secured system and better address
new threats and vulnerabilities on an ongoing basis as also
recommended in PCI DSS Requirement 6.6 of the PCI DSS 1.2
specifications.
The Power of Recording, and Desktop and Process
Analytics
Encryption of sensitive data using industry-standard algorithms
continues to be fundamental to enabling compliance with PCI and
other regulatory requirements. With strong key management for
compliance and security, as delivered by Verint through the RSA®
Key Manager—a solution that centralizes the provisioning and
lifecycle management of encryption keys—Verint customers are
experiencing the benefits of simplified security policy deployment
and ongoing administration, and the ability for its users to
securely move, archive and store data.
This year, the PCI Security Standards Council evolved guidance
for contact centers with regard to the storage of card security
codes in digital call recordings. Impact 360 Desktop and Process
Analytics helps customers achieve PCI DSS compliance by avoiding
the capture of this code via automatically triggered pauses in
recording based on activities on the employee desktop, such as
those involving the on-screen card security code field.
Functionality within the Verint software—such as application event
triggers that track keys pressed, programs launched on the desktop,
fields accessed within a screen, and specific values entered into
an application—can be easily activated to automatically trigger
recording pauses, preventing the capture and storage of sensitive
customer information and negating the need for employees to
manually do so across systems, applications and processes. Impact
360 Desktop and Process Analytics also helps customers by analyzing
processes and system usage across the enterprise, supporting
compliance officers and personnel in their security policy and
regulatory compliance roles.
