PCI PA-DSS in Healthcare – Part 2

Because of increasing threats, high-profile data breaches, and increased awareness of the damage they cause, we anticipate a substantial tightening of regulations and contractual requirements that will significantly impact information security in healthcare.

The last few years have seen a great deal of discussion, arguing, hand-wringing, and posturing within the retail/hospitality community regarding the PCI DSS.

PA-DSS payment application vendors can now satisfy requirement 5.2.a secure coding training through PCI Council-endorsed SANS courses, from OWASP Top 10 basics to language-specific tracks.

Healthcare executives are concerned with a broad array of regulatory and compliance-related issues.

As an organization that performs a large volume of code reviews and penetration tests, NetSPI is frequently asked which type of application assessment is the best option.

In a post that I wrote earlier, "The Far-Reaching Impact of the PCI DSS," I mentioned the influence of the PCI DSS on industries other than retail and hospitality.
