2997: Imperva’s Guide to PCI DSS 4.0 Compliance and Client-Side Protection

How prepared is your organization to tackle the growing threat of client-side attacks? In this episode of the Tech Talks Daily Podcast, I sit down with Lynn Marks, Senior Product Director at Imperva, a Thales company, to discuss the rise of Magecart attacks and the implications of the newly updated PCI DSS 4.0 standards. Client-side attacks, like Magecart, have been a looming threat since 2015, gaining significant traction as digital transformation accelerated during the global pandemic. As more businesses moved their operations online, the landscape for these attacks became increasingly fertile, putting sensitive customer data at risk. With the recent release of PCI DSS 4.0, the stakes have never been higher for organizations processing payments online. Lynn dives into the specifics of how these attacks operate, targeting vulnerable JavaScript to steal data directly from users, often without detection. We explore the key updates in PCI DSS 4.0, particularly the new requirements that demand businesses inventory, authorize, and monitor client-side scripts more rigorously. Lynn shares practical insights on how companies can navigate these requirements, mitigate risks, and enhance cross-team communication to protect against these sophisticated threats. What strategies should your business adopt to stay ahead of client-side attackers, and how can you ensure compliance with the evolving security standards? Tune in to this episode for an in-depth conversation on safeguarding your online transactions and staying resilient in the face of emerging cyber threats. After listening, I’d love to hear your thoughts—how is your organization adapting to the new PCI DSS 4.0 requirements?
