whitepaper The SIEM Architecture2007-10-01 Enterprise Strategy Group
  Security Event Management (SEM) products collected log data from security devices in order to correlate disparate events and detect security incidents in real time. Today, many SEM vendors claim that these same products that help security administrators identify attacks can also meet the comprehensive reporting needs of regulatory compliance auditors. These vendors reason that both security and compliance systems are based upon a similar technology infrastructure and anchor their analysis to the collection, processing and storage of log file data. Given these technical similarities, SEM vendors simply added some compliance analysis capabilities and now offer a one-size-fits-all solution.

whitepaper PCI Compliance - The New Reality for European Retail Companies2007-10-01 IDG (International Data Group)
  Compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standard is now a reality for every retailer: compliance should be high on every retailer's list of priorities for enterprise security. With this reality comes the need for retailers to fully understand their PCI compliance status through a thorough gap analysis and associated risk assessment. Centre-stage for compliance must be a retailer's ICT infrastructure and, in particular, it's networking capabilities. Implementing strong data encryption, protecting Web services and establishing secure network architecture are fundamental to the compliance process. Early action to establish PCI compliance will go a long way to mitigating the risk of financial loss and damage to the retailer's brand.

whitepaper PCI Compliance: Low Risk, High Reward2007-09-01 Hughes Network Systems
  Reputation is the most prized asset for any business. When one's business' reputation is damaged from a breach of data security, customer trust suffers. When customer trust suffers, sales are impacted and market position threatened. The public relations costs alone of repairing the damage done to a retailer's reputation can be catastrophically high - and even at that, the customer loyalty that was lost may never be regained. A golden rule in business is that it is less costly to retain the existing customers than to find new customers. In today's economy, the biggest threat to a retailer's reputation is customer identity theft by hackers and ever more sophisticated organized crime attacks.
