PCI Compliance: A technology overview » (18pp)
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard gives straight-forward direction on the technologies, policies and procedures needed to achieve compliance. However, compliance programs differ depending on an organization's size, function, and operational approach. This paper maps out PCI requirements and presents time- and money-saving practices, as well as an introduction to the StillSecure suite of integrated network security products, which provides three of the PCI-required advanced security functions: network access control, vulnerability management, and intrusion detection/prevention.

Keeping Trusted Endpoints Honest: Using IDS/IPS for Post-Connect NAC
This whitepaper presents the case for using intrusion detection/prevention technology (IDS/IPS) for NAC post-connect sensing. It covers the basic IDS/IPS capabilities that make it ideal for post-connect sensing; the expanded policy enforcement options this approach enables; the greater return on investment realized by having your IDS/IPS do double duty; post-connect deployment on the network.

Layered Network Security
Introduces you to a layered-security approach for protecting your network. With network attacks increasing in sophistication and frequency, point solutions cannot provide adequate protection. Effective security requires a layered approach, where measures are implemented at five different levels on your network: perimeter, network, host, application, data.

Beyond the firewall: The next level of network security
Explains why a firewall alone can no longer adequately protect your network. It introduces you to advanced network security technologies, including intrusion detection/prevention systems (IPS/IDS) and vulnerability assessment (VA) tools. The paper describes these advanced technologies within a layered-security framework and illustrates why it is imperative to adopt the layered approach to protect your digital assets. (8pp)
