Cybertrust, Cisco Combine Expertise

NEW YORK -- Cybertrust®, the global information security specialist, and Cisco®, the worldwide leader in networking that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate, today announced their collaboration in developing solutions to assist retailers in achieving compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard. Part of the Cisco PCI Solution for Retail, a set of recommended and audited network architectures that can be tailored for each retailer’s specific store footprint and application needs, Cybertrust has provided its PCI subject matter expertise to validate that the Cisco solutions are optimized for PCI compliance. The Cisco PCI Solution architectures provide guidelines that help retailers manage the complexities associated with the PCI Data Security Standard.

Retailers taking advantage of the Cisco Secure Store program not only have the benefits of a customized solution pre-defined to the specific PCI requirements and needs, but also can directly tap into Cybertrust PCI expertise for services needs around the program. The Cisco Secure Store Program is comprised of both the PCI Solution for Retail and the Digital Video Surveillance solution. Specifically, Cybertrust is providing its extensive retail industry experience to help retailers identify and overcome obstacles to achieving compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard. Services may include PCI pre- and post-audit assessments and vulnerability scans to assess gaps and non-compliant areas; PCI audit services for PCI certification; design and implementation services; and incident response and forensics analysis in the event of a suspected security breach.

“Retailers of all sizes are challenged to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard. Compliance requires not only the right infrastructure, but also the people, policies and processes that will adapt to the evolving security threat environment,” said Kerry Bailey, Cybertrust senior vice president, global services. “Cybertrust is proud to work with Cisco to provide comprehensive PCI solutions that assist retailers in meeting PCI compliance requirements.”
