SEATTLE - January 30, 2009 -- WatchGuard Technologies Highlights / News Facts: * FREE PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Tool – Developed for WatchGuard by the ReymannGroup, the WatchGuard PCI DSS SAQ tool automates and streamlines the self-assessment and monthly attestation process, as required by PCI DSS. It includes all of the PCI DSS self-assessment questions and testing procedures, and aligns each against specific WatchGuard solutions capabilities, where applicable. Once completed, the SAQ can serve as the supporting documentation needed for the merchant’s monthly attestation of PCI DSS compliance. * FREE PCI DSS White Paper, "Meeting PCI DSS Merchant Requirements with a WatchGuard Firebox" – In seeking PCI DSS compliance, it is critical to design a highly secure network with appropriate physical and logical boundaries to segregate the PCI-compliant operating environment. This white paper demonstrates how the multilayered security capabilities and application proxy technology of the WatchGuard Firebox X family of UTM appliances is ideally suited to meeting these standards. * FREE Case Study, "Convenience Stores Achieve Quick & Easy PCI Compliance" – Garb-Ko, Inc. franchises and operates more than 90 7-Eleven convenience stores in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Like other retailers, the company is subject to PCI DSS for protecting consumer credit and payment data. This case study illustrates why Garb-Ko selected WatchGuard over Cisco to meet their PCI DSS network security requirements. * PCI DSS – Designed to help merchants and other organizations protect customer credit card data, PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) is a multifaceted, global industry set of standards, which includes requirements for security management, policies, procedures, network architecture, software design and other critical protective measures. * Core Requirements of PCI DSS – Six core requirements of PCI DSS are: 1) Build and maintain a secure network, 2) protect cardholder data, 3) maintain a vulnerability management program, 4) implement strong access control measures, 5) regularly monitor and test networks, and 6) maintain an information security policy.
