PCI Express

Average Reviews: ( More customer reviews ) I bought this card a few months ago when there was a rebate going on. I installed it in Linux Mint and it was detected, automatically installed the driver and just needed to configure the SSID and password and in less than 5 minutes I got internet connection. I then also installed it on a Windows 7, but got the BSOD with the latest driver from ABIT's website. Then I googled around and found this fix "Very simple, this card is actually an atheros...Read Full Story

By Keith Pollow The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard or PCI DSS was implemented by the major credit card companies Discover, MasterCard, Visa, AMEX, and JCB International to help organizations that process card payments curtail the threat of a security breach. Any company processing, storing, or transmitting payment card data must now comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Merchants found not to be compliant could possibly lose their capacity to...Read Full Story

Restaurants have become targets for hackers looking to steal payment card information. Most restaurant owners fail to realize the inherent risks and liabilities associated with processing, transmitting and storing financial data, and continue to keep payment card data security low on their priority list. Merchants often dismiss PCI DSS requirements as being beyond their scope and accountability, and are then caught unaware of the harsh consequences if a security breach occurs.

Corporations with independently owned franchise locations face unique challenges when it comes to PCI compliance. While it's the responsibility of the franchise owner to become and remain PCI compliant, the ramifications of a data breach affect the corporate brand. Just one date breach at the smallest location can result in lost consumer confidence and negative publicity, which will impact revenues across the franchise community. To mitigate risks to the brand, more and more corporations are...Read Full Story

The results of the investigation into the recent DigiNotar SSL CA breach reads like a laundry list of “Things Not To Do™” on your critical servers and networks: no antivirus, no centralized logging, and outdated/vulnerable software exposed to the Internet, among other items.  What’s funny about the above list is that if the breached systems had been part of DigiNotar’s PCI cardholder data environment, then DigiNotar could never have passed a PCI QSA audit as all three items I noted above are...Read Full Story

Vulnerability scanning. Mention those two words, and your IT operations staff usually shudders. Conversely, your IT audit/security staff usually start doing a happy dance (I think those guys are sadists, like Steve Martin in Little Shop of Horrors .) Love it or hate it, vulnerability scanning is required by many compliance regimens. The PCI DSS states that you have to perform vulnerability scanning quarterly, and from both an external and internal perspective. If you follow the letter of the...Read Full Story

PCI DSS can benefit even those companies not processing credit card transactions, reports Stephen Lawton . For many companies that process credit card data, the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are all too familiar. But should companies that do not process credit cards implement the same data security restrictions? Today there is a veritable alphabet soup of data security standards to which companies can adhere, but because of its prescriptive nature...Read Full Story
