NNT – Change Tracker Enterprise for Retailers and other Organizations Handling Payment Card Transactions

If you are a retailer or an organization that handles Payment Card transactions then you will understand the challenges that IT teams face in keeping sensitive payment card information safe and secure. The expansive PCI DSS compliance standard requires that all IT systems are kept provably secure and that the IT team has the means to ensure they remain that way by immediately spotting any compromises or vulnerabilities.

One of the difficulties is that ‘you don’t know what you don’t know’. System integrity can be compromised on so many levels and with the expansion of virtual environments and web based applications driving most business - the challenge goes from tough to mega tough.

For a somewhat sobering real world example - take a look at the recent US credit card fraud case reported here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Gonzalez

The cost and disruption to the operation of the organizations affected is huge, but this could have easily been avoided with a tiny investment in comparison.

• NNT Proactive Solutions for PCI DSS Compliance

NNT provide a simple, two step plan for PCI DSS compliance.

First of all we help by automatically auditing your entire IT estate for areas of non compliance to PCI DSS. Secondly we ensure that systems remain compliant by tracking any changes and flagging any illegal or unauthorized changes immediately using a combination of configuration change tracking, file & registry monitoring and event log analysis and correlation.

This approach allows you to achieve two things:

1. Get IT systems compliant
2. Ensure they remain that way

• Fast troubleshooting. Probably the most used day to day feature. Our software scans the entire infrastructure for unauthorized or poorly executed changes to the working baseline. Whatever the problem it will manifest itself as a change to your baseline. Press a button…find what changed and find the root cause of the problem – FAST!

Steve Brasen of Analyst Firm ‘Enterprise Management Associates’ said of Change Tracker:

“With Change Tracker in place, environment problems can be quickly identified and resolved. Performance and health status information are reported, indicating existing and potential problems. By correlating these environment conditions with change events, the root cause of incidents can be easily detected, often resolving problems even before they are detected by end users.”

Steve went on to say:

“Achieving compliance is also simplified with pre-built templates for popular regulatory initiatives, including PCI DSS, HIPPA, SOX, NERC and Co Connection. NNT’s Change Tracker takes the pain out of compliance auditing and establishes constancy and reliability in the support stack.“
