POS report demonstrates the difference between compliance and security

A new report from McAfee highlights that trust in retailers is frequently a leap in the dark. One of the problems is that retailers must conform to PCI standards but are not required to conform to any separate security standards. The result is a tendency to over-rely on conformance with PCI-DSS for general security. But PCI compliance primarily concentrates on the card details. These are read and transmitted by the POS terminals – and in turn the POS element is sometimes performed by old and second-hand equipment and often controlled by a third-party provider.
