UPPING THE ANTE

摘要

In the wake of Home Depot's massive security breach, the PCI Security Standards Council is creating some change this year by updating within its Data Security Standard with PCI DSS version 3.0. This new version, however, was already in the works. The payments industry can only hope that new standards will keep such breaches from happening and millions of consumers will avert such exposure again. Compliance with this migration is expected by the end of 2014, explains Ken Ammon, chief strategy officer of Xccedium. Though many organizations have already started migrating from v2.0 to v3.0, all will be required to comply with the new standard by the end of 2014.
