2. Default, Weak, Nonexistent Passwords

Often vendors will setup many different sites with the
same weak passwords.

Default password is often “password” or none at all.

Anyone can discover random weak passwords which
are easily broken by hackers using simple password
cracking software

When installing POS computers & systems, change all
default passwords

Ensure all users have unique user accounts and strong
passwords

Ensure all POS workstations and servers are setup with

Ensure firewalls are properly setup to prevent bad
things from getting in

get in

10. PCI DSS Compliance & Validation

Remember that “compliance” is a point in time
measurement

True “security” is a continuous process of improvement
based on actual and emerging threats according to the
level of business risk tolerance.

Compliance is easy once you have actually secured
from risk threats

Validation of Compliance provides industry
stakeholders “proof” that security controls are in place
to protect your business and safe harbor from fines &
penalties when account data is breached.
