Preparing for Tomorrow: Exploring PCI DSS 4.0’s Role in Quantum-Safe Cryptography Transition

What is PCI DSS?

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It’s a set of security standards to ensure that all companies that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. This standard was created to protect sensitive payment card data, such as credit card numbers, from theft and fraud.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a collection of security protocols established in 2004 through collaboration between Visa, MasterCard, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, and American Express. Regulated by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), this compliance framework is designed to safeguard credit and debit card transactions from unauthorized access, data breaches, and fraudulent activities.
