NSS Labs, well known for its security product testing and certification program, recently launched its PCI Suitability service. Merchants--from global giants to small retailers--are faced with difficult buying decisions, as they determine what technologies they need to deploy to comply with PCI-DSS. Smaller companies, in particular, need to evaluate products like intrusion prevention systems and Web application firewalls that might not have gotten serious budget consideration before PCI. In this podcast, NSS' president Rick Moy talks about the information that the PCI Suitability reports provide and how companies can use that information to help them make informed buying decisions.
