Making Sure You're PCI DSS 3.2 Compliant? MFA to the Rescue
2020-01-28 19:03

Today, I want to take a closer look at the PCI DSS 3.2 standard, starting with Requirement 8 and gradually making our way to Requirement 8.3.2.

The standard specifically uses CDE, or the cardholder data environment, instead of "Sensitive data," but the concept is the same - make sure the person requesting access is truly who they claim to be.

PCI DSS 3.2 Requirement 8 starts off by ensuring a unique ID is assigned to each person with computer access.

Going back to PCI DSS 3.2, Requirement 8.3 dictates MFA as an authentication requirement requiring at least two authentication methods and then directs readers back to Requirement 8.2 for descriptions of these authentication methods.

If you're looking for an easy-to-use MFA solution, WatchGuard's AuthPoint MFA solution is right for you.
