Fortrex, in conjunction with Solidcore and Emagined Security have compiled a comprehensive PCI compliance report that provides an overview of the cost of compliance and highlights the fiscal importance of meeting regulations.

According to the report, the cost of a breach can easily be 20 times the cost of PCI compliance, more than justifying the up-front investment.

File Integrity Monitoring a Top Priority in PCI Compliance
Two of the least satisfied PCI DSS requirements are requirement 10 (track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data) and 11 (regularly test security systems and processes). These 2 requirements specify using a file integrity monitoring solution. Leading organizations are now deploying continuous file integrity monitoring solutions that constantly monitor critical files and immediately report the "who, what, and how" for any violations.
