Advancing best practices for meeting and sustaining IT security compliance requirements, BindView Corp. (Nasdaq:BVEW) announced today plans for an informational Webinar, "How To Prepare for a PCI Data Security Standard Audit." Led by BindView Field Marketing Manager Indy Chakrabarti, the session will highlight critical information to help organizations prepare for an upcoming Payment Card Industry (PCI) audit. He will also offer tips for interpreting the 12 major requirements of the data security standard. What: Credit card identity theft has caused millions of dollars in lost revenue. As a result, these malicious acts have prompted major credit card companies to develop the PCI Data Security Standard to protect the privacy and personal information of cardholders. The standard requires all organizations handling credit card transactions to comply with 12 major security components, ranging from periodic vulnerability scanning to a comprehensive review of user entitlements. Organizations failing to comply with PCI face stiff financial penalties and the loss of capabilities to process credit card transactions. Adding to the complexity, companies working to satisfy PCI requirements must implement these guidelines across their entire environment, typically involving a multi-platform and multi-application infrastructure. When: Thursday, November 10, 2005, at 12:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m. CST, 9:00 a.m. PST) Who Should Participate: IT directors and managers faced with meeting and sustaining PCI data security standard requirements.
