For companies that accept and process credit card payments, compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), the global security standard for safeguarding sensitive credit card data, has been a long and arduous task. It’s been something of a marathon since the standard was first announced in 2006, with companies striving to address various aspects of the standard for compliance. Unfortunately, there have been some problems along the way, with some of the larger companies that have already demonstrated compliance subsequently suffering significant data breaches.

Identity and access management is a basic building block of the secure infrastructure that Sun proposes organizations build to secure information. Deploying the right identity and access management solutions will help secure access to critical information and, in the process, help address PCI DSS requirements.
