Application security solutions provider Indusface has teamed up with Australian security firm Dragonfly Technologies to promote collaboration among PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) community in Asia-Pacific through DrivePCI initiative.
The DrivePCI initiative facilitates organisations in identifying PCI DSS gaps, remediation planning as well as remediation services.
The PCI DSS is a set of requirements that aims to improve and protect payment card data.
For adhering to these standards, merchants and service providers need to perform external vulnerability scans on their systems every quarter with the help of an Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV).
The DrivePCI alliance will help businesses subscribe to continuous PCI ASV scanning and penetration testing services backed by leading and Gartner recognised cyber security firms, Indusface said.
