"PCI DSS 3.2 Requirement 5.1 offers guidance to protect systems from "zero-day" malware (an attack that exploits and unknown vulnerability) by keeping antivirus update regularly. However, malware starts out as "zero-day" until it gets reported to antivirus as a result of a breach. If that zero-day malware is a keylogger, then all of the keystrokes the user inputs prior to discovery, have already been stolen. This includes network access credentials and "Card Not Present" transactions. In addition, keyloggers are extremely difficult to discover because many have polymorphic capabilities, meaning they have the capability to change their form and continue to elude antivirus for months and sometimes years.
Merchants would benefit greatly from using EndpointLock keystroke encryption to protect all of the data they input into a PC or mobile device.
In addition to protecting the merchant and their customers, keystroke encryption also protects the credit card processor and other networks that the merchant must log into in order to perform daily functions such as download reports and viewing their account. If a hacker gains access to these systems, they can plant other malware and work their way further into the enterprise."
Last week we learned that three very large payment processors, each with multi millions of merchant locations are going to use SFOR technology and the largest has begun the rollout.
