What a week we’re having – and it’s only Thursday! RSA has been action-packed, meeting with customers, showing off our new product enhancements, and booking time with new prospects. Interest in API security is running at an all-time high, as more organizations recognize what Salt saw years ago, that APIs entirely upend the security playing field!

This is the fourth blog in the series focused on PCI DSS, written by an AT&T Cybersecurity consultant. See the first blog relating to IAM and PCI DSS here. See the second blog on PCI DSS reporting details to ensure when contracting quarterly CDE tests here. The third blog on network and data flow diagrams for PCI DSS compliance is here.

With warm and sunny weather expected all week, a bunch of the Salt team is thrilled to be at RSA in San Francisco! We’ll get the chance to talk with security leaders about why API security has become a priority project, and we’ll get time to catch up with customers and each other. It’ll be a great week!

One of the guiding principles for organisations, whether they are major corporations or small firms, is to ensure compliance. Enforcing compliance helps organisations to adhere to fraud prevention guidelines, identify rule infractions, and shield a corporation from unwarranted penalties and legal action. PAN verification is one such crucial process before onboarding consumers, clients, and third parties in order to remain compliant and within the law.
