THE PCI Security Standards Council has published a wireless security guide for merchants who need help in securing their wireless networks to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard.
The PCI Security Standards Council on Thursday released the wireless security guide, which was developed by its special interest group (SIG) on wireless technologies.
The 28-page PCI DSS Wireless Guideline analyses applicable PCI DSS requirements and provides recommendations for implementation.
According to Doug Manchester, director of product security for VeriFone Holdings, the purpose of the guide is to provide clarity for users.
He said the guide focuses on Wi-Fi technology because it's widely deployed for payment card transactions.
Manchester said the overarching objective was to facilitate secure processing.
