New PCI Security Standards & Council

["lists () infostruct net" <lists () infostruct net>]

"American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB, MasterCard Worldwide
and Visa International today jointly announced the formation of an
independent council designed to manage the ongoing evolution of the Payment
Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, which focuses on improving
payment account security throughout the transaction process."

"As its first action, the PCI Security Standards Council also announced
today the PCI Data Security Standard version 1.1. The new standard
addresses evolving security threats and recommends that merchants and
vendors take action to fortify application and network level security. It
provides a framework for ongoing PCI compliance."

"The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (DSS) v 1.1 has replaced
the DSS v. January 2005, and the PCI Security Standards Council will no
longer recognize DSS v. 2005 after December 31, 2006."
