Network Security Provider Should Also Take Care of PCI audit

PCI audit has affected millions of businesses around the world. E-commerce is gaining popularity and the use of Credit/Debit cards is increasing because of the conveniences they offer to the buyers and sellers. Payment Card Industry (PCI) is a worldwide information security standard established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The standard comprises of 12 guidelines that are created to help organizations prevent credit card fraud through strict controls on data and its exposure. It is important to adhere to these standards and network security provider should help you maintain it.

Your network security provider should be able to address at least 5 of the critical PCI compliance requirements. They should also support periodic PCI audit and PCI scans by generating reports and information to validate compliance to corporate policies and identify noncompliance issues prior to an audit.

According to the PCI SSC regulations, it is important to protect cardholders’ data. You should Build and Maintain a Secure Network. For this you need to install and maintain a firewall that ensures the safety of cardholder’s data. Avoid using third party de-faults for system passwords and security parameters.

Maintain an effective Vulnerability Management Program and regularly update antivirus software regularly. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications and implement strong access control measures. Assign unique id to each person who access the system. There should be no means to physical access of data.

    It's totally obvious when a "consultant " walks in and has no real experience in their field, and I personally won't hire a consultant that doesn't have a reference list of similar projects completed.

    You really need some real-world experience first: get a job in the IT field, after five years you could probably wrangle your way into network security, get at least five years in network security, and then you'll be in a viable position to try this.

    As an aside: if you're thinking about consulting but don't know if what you want to do is possible, how to do it, if you have a market, or who that market is… that should tell you something important.

    It isn't a bad career. However The two classes you listed are not enough really. In addition, I'd take computer security classes and consider Novel, Microsoft and Cisco certification as well. Ideally, you should have a college degree in computer security.

    Probably the most widely-recognised security-related courses are given by the SANS institute (http://www.sans.org/). They are not for beginners, though: you'll need a solid grounding in network and operating system configuration and deployment.

    Be prepared for disappointment if you try to get a job armed solely with qualifications. Experience is everything in this industry.
