What you'll learn

The key to achieving PCI DSS compliance is a thorough knowledge of each of the sub-requirements and how they will be assessed. In this course, PCI DSS: Securing Data, Systems, and Applications, you’ll learn how to interpret PCI DSS requirements 3 through 6 and apply them to your organization. First, you’ll learn how PCI DSS wants stored cardholder data to be protected. Next, you’ll explore the requirement to encrypt cardholder data in transit and the requirement to protect systems against malware. Then, you’ll take a look at the largest requirement in PCI DSS which is to develop and maintain secure systems and applications. Finally, you’ll discover practical insights about all four requirements from experienced PCI assessors. When you’ve finished with this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to apply PCI DSS requirements 3 through 6 to an organization’s environment and to determine whether it is compliant with the demands of the standard.
