NetScout’s Sniffer and NetScout Solutions meet the many formidable challenges faced by IT Network managers who are charged with optimizing the performance of their network while simultaneously having to protect sensitive cardholder data carried within it. With a single comprehensive system you can:

  • Assure timely delivery of applications involved in credit card processing, such as payment gateways, POS systems and ERP solutions
  • Restricting access to cardholder data by business need-to-know with packet slice sizing
  • Troubleshoot complex and intermittent network problems in real time
  • Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data
  • Supplement your vulnerability management program with network security forensics

The Challenges of Achieving and Maintaining PCI Compliance 
Supermarkets, drug stores, warehouse retailers, online stores, banks, hospitals, insurance agencies – in short, any company that accepts credit or debit cards as a form of payment – all have a need to optimize performance of credit card authorization services, track response times and troubleshoot degradations. Historically, troubleshooting has been challenged by requirements to protect the sensitive data in these applications (i.e., packet payloads) and has precluded the use of proven technology for performance management using continuously recorded packets for troubleshooting intermittent, insidious problems.

NetScout Meets the Need 
No company running critical payment authorization applications should be without a robust performance management solution with continuous recording and deep packet analysis in their network troubleshooting arsenal. The NetScout Performance Management Solution is a comprehensive network management application that addresses key performance management disciplines, including:

  • application and network monitoring
  • network capacity planning
  • network troubleshooting
  • VoIP monitoring
  • response time analysis

NetScout addressed the issue of PCI DSS compliance by developing the capability to perform sophisticated pre-capture filtering on a per application basis. This capability allows companies concerned with PCI compliance to capture and store only the packet header and/or a user-definable slice of the packet on applications for which maintaining the payload information could lead to PCI non-compliance.
