June 2012 by Marc Jacob
VASCO Data Security International, Inc. announces the new version of its IDENTIKEY Appliance which incorporates IDENTIKEY software version 3.4 and offers support for hardware security modules (HSM), typically used in online banking environments. The updated appliance helps banks and financial organizations to achieve PCI DSS compliance and is specifically tuned to fit the needs of the financial market.
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a worldwide information security standard intended to reduce credit card fraud. It is a framework of regulations that was developed to create a robust payment card data security process that includes prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents and it must be adopted by all organizations that handle payment card data.
Achieving PCI DSS compliance however, can be a complicated and time-consuming procedure that requires a lot of expertise and resources. VASCO’s IDENTIKEY Appliance provides organizations with a plug-and-play managed server while maintaining the mandatory compliance. Furthermore, IDENTIKEY Appliance offers additional features such as automatic updates, platform system monitoring and schedule back-up as well as extensive reporting tools. Business continuity is guaranteed with a secure replication functionality.
