Meeting PCI DSS Merchant Requirements With a WatchGuard Firebox

Overview

The goal of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is to create a framework for good security practice around the handling of cardholder data. A PCI-compliant operating environment is one in which the cardholder data exists (i.e., it does NOT refer to the whole corporate network), and PCI DSS defines the requirements for how access to this data must be controlled, monitored, logged, and audited. The objective of this white paper is to discuss those aspects of the PCI DSS standard that have an impact on a firewall deployment for a PCI DSS merchant.
