McAfee Launches Easy PCI Plan

McAfee has announced the Easy PCI Plan, designed to help companies achieve compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in advance of government deadlines.

The New McAfee Easy PCI Plan specifies a “triple play” of integrated protection and compliance solutions, along with certified PCI consulting and audit services provided by Foundstone Professional Services. The “triple play” offering includes products such as McAfee Total Protection, McAfee Foundstone and McAfee IntruShield. All three solutions map directly to PCI standard requirements, thereby helping companies pass critical PCI audits and achieve compliance.

According to Dave DeWalt, chief executive officer at McAfee, “McAfee understands the importance of passing audits and sustaining multiple levels of security, and we understand the potential consequences of this looming deadline. The good news is that McAfee is well positioned to provide a full suite of protection and compliance tools that are designed to help companies not only pass PCI audits, but achieve sustained compliance as well.”

When combined with certified McAfee consulting and audit services, the Easy PCI plan claims to provide a practical and prescriptive approach for addressing the primary PCI pain points facing Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 merchants. These pain points include: 1) passing the PCI audit and meeting the September 30 deadline, 2) selecting and deploying a layered security model that sustains compliance, 3) proactively protecting sensitive credit card data including the systems that store it - with “good industry practices” for protection and prevention.
