New report issued by Fortrex, Emagined Security and Solidcore reveals the cost of PCI compliance is justified.

Fortrex, in conjunction with Solidcore and Emagined Security have compiled a PCI compliance report that reveals the cost of a breach can easily be 20 times the cost of PCI compliance, more than justifying the up-front investment.  Despite the cost justification, attaining PCI compliance is a daunting task.  It is recommended that the most complex requirements (10 and 11) be implemented first.  These 2 requirements specify using a file integrity monitoring solution.  Leading organizations are now deploying continuous file integrity monitoring solutions that constantly monitor critical files and immediately report the "who, what, and how" for any violations.
