Is Open Source Putting Your PCI Compliance at Risk?
The Payment Card Industry has significant requirements in the Application Security space. In fact, the onus lies heavily on related IT and Security Departments to focus their attention on application security at the source code level and to implement application security processes in order to ensure not only a vulnerability-free environment, but to prove that the appropriate processes are in place for ongoing vulnerability management. This is not an easy feat, due to the granular level of source code management that the PCI DSS requires. In order to achieve success with PCI compliance, it is imperative that organizations realize the potential gaps in their current application security strategies and implement changes where necessary.

Software Assurance Protection: Bridging the Gap in Application Security for Open Source
Software security in general, and application security specifically, is a significant element of compliance with the laws, regulations, and policies that govern most organizations and their proprietary data. Weak software security can represent, for example, a significant control deficiency in terms of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, among others. Different teams within an organization have responsibilities for ensuring the security of web and software applications – from engineering teams that write the code all the way to the audit committee of the Board of Directors that must assess compliance to appropriate processes for managing information reliability and security. This paper provides an overview of the need for application security for open source, an often overlooked but critical part of an organization’s existing software assurance framework.
