PCI DSS, which stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, is a set of commonly agreed-to standards enforced by the top credit card issuers (think MasterCard, Visa, and American Express, among others). Brick-and-mortar merchants had until October 2007 to comply with the standards. On June 30, the Payment Card Industry will make these best practices mandatory for all online organizations.
Web applications accept confidential and credit card payment information, so these new requirements will be far reaching. Failure to comply may result in fines, restrictions, or permanent expulsion from card acceptance programs.
In this week's Security Bites podcast, Danny Allan, director of security research at Watchfire, an IBM company, talks with CNET's Robert Vamosi about the Data Security Standards and what they mean for Web applications.
