Achieving PCI Compliance with Alcide Kubernetes Security

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has been with us since 2004, and helps the payment card industry to protect the data that belongs to its consumers. To remain current and effective, the standard has had to evolve over time to accommodate changes in the way we use payment cards, and the way in which we process, transmit and store data. In particular, the ever changing tools, technologies and paradigms that characterize the networks, systems and software applications we use to deliver services, provides a challenge. And, this is never truer than in the current age of Cloud Native computing.

This document describes the challenge that faces organizations seeking to obtain and maintain PCI DSS compliance in a Cloud Native world. What's needed to navigate through the complexity of this new transient, ephemeral world, is a new approach to security that's built to cope with the difficult challenges it throws up. Alcide provides such an approach, and we'll discuss how its software solutions can be applied to meet the requirements of PCI DSS in a Cloud Native era.
