PCI DSS 4.0 is coming: how to prepare for the looming changes to credit card payment rules

For enterprises that handle credit card data, which means just about every consumer-facing company, payment processing is a mission-critical system that requires the highest levels of security. The volume of transactions conducted with general purpose credit cards (American Express, Discover, Mastercard, Visa, UnionPay in China, and JCB in Japan) totaled $581 billion in 2021, up 24.5% year-over-year, according to the Nilson Report. However, credit card issuers, merchants, banks, and third-party transaction processors lost $28.58 billion to credit card fraud in 2020, which comes to nearly 7 cents per $100 in purchase volume. And the Nilson Report projects credit card losses will exceed $400 billion over the next 10 years. To read this article in full, please click here

Why it’s time to review your Microsoft patch management options

You have several options to manage patching on Microsoft networks: let machines independently update or use a third-party patching tool, Windows Software Update Services (WSUS), or another Microsoft management product. If you are still using WSUS as your key patching tool, you may want to review your options. Microsoft is developing additional patching tools that will allow you to better manage systems and control administrative access. Is WSUS on the way out? Microsoft has long kept the status quo for WSUS, its on-premises patching product. It still supports WSUS, but Microsoft does not appear to be making new investments in the platform. Case in point, if your WSUS server fails on syncing, disable the Windows category of “Windows Insider Dev Channel.” Selecting this category creates an error message during synchronization. Microsoft is aware of the issue but has not given any estimated time for a fix. WSUS has not been updated in years. If you are considering using WSUS as your go-to patching platform, budget for a subscription to WSUS Automated Maintenance, which includes scripts and routines to optimize WSUS.
