Updated PCI Data Security requirements released

Visa and Mastercard release new security standards for credit card merchants and processors

The specifications for PCI security, in addition to requiring two-factor authentication for remote access (section 8), now recommend the use of a web-application firewall or having the code reviewed by a specialist in web-application security. This recommendation is considered a 'best-practice' until June of 2008, when it will be a requirement.
