Drawing from an extensive knowledge of mainframe and LCS security, coupled with experience as an accredited QSA company, this presentation provides insight into LCS security to those charged with achieving compliance to the PCI Data Security Standards.'
Achieving and assessing Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance in a LCS environment can be a challenge as the standards are often interpreted as being more focused towards a distributed systems paradigm, and for merchants and service providers rather than acquirers.
We present an analysis of the PCI standards in the context of the Large Computer Systems environment and provide focused guidance to both those responsible for PCI DSS compliance and their QSA.
We examine the PCI DSS requirements and especially focus on those where special consideration is needed by implementers and QSA responsible for LCS.
