nCircle Launches PCI DSS Compliance Package for Small BusinessesSAN FRANCISCO --(Business Wire)-- nCircle, the leader in information risk and security performance management solutions, today announced the integration of the nCircle Certified PCI (News - Alert) Scan Service in the PureCloud security services platform. nCircle PureCloud users now have access to vulnerability scanning, web application scanning and automated PCI scanning in a single, easy-to-use solution that helps improve network security and achieve compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The new PCI Scan Service enables smaller organizations and businesses to cost effectively achieve PCI compliance and improve network security. With an average of 5,000 new vulnerabilities discovered each year, regular or continuous vulnerability scanning is an essential security best practice. Recent studies show that over 70% of security threats are directed at web applications due to the quantity and value of the information they contain, a problem that's particularly acute for online merchants. nCircle has been a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) since 2007, and two of the three largest credit card brands driving the PCI Data Security Standard use nCircle to ensure security and compliance. "nCircle continues to expand and innovate the PureCloud security services platform," said Tim Erlin, director of IT security and risk strategy. "In combination with web application scanning and SmartScan, our PCI ASV scanning service makes our customers' jobs easier." The nCircle PureCloud PCI Scan Service offers users an automated, PCI DSS-certified service that meets the rigorous internal and external vulnerability scanning requirements. Key features include:
