"We have always recommended these books to our customers and even our own engineers for developing a better understanding of technologies and specifications. We find the latest PCI Express book from MindShare to have the same content and high quality as all the others." --Nader Saleh, CEO/President, Catalyst Enterprises, Inc. PCI Express is the third-generation Peripheral Component Inter-connect technology for a wide range of systems and peripheral devices. Incorporating recent advances in high-speed, point-to-point interconnects, PCI Express provides significantly higher performance, reliability, and enhanced capabilities--at a lower cost--than the previous PCI and PCI-X standards. Therefore, anyone working on next-generation PC systems, BIOS and device driver development, and peripheral device design will need to have a thorough understanding of PCI Express. PCI Express System Architecture provides an in-depth description and comprehensive reference to the PCI Express standard. The book contains information needed for design, verification, and test, as well as background information essential for writing low-level BIOS and device drivers.In addition, it offers valuable insight into the technology's evolution and cutting-edge features. Following an overview of the PCI Express architecture, the book moves on to cover transaction protocols, the physical/electrical layer, power manageme

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) must be met by all organizations (merchants and service providers) that transmit, process or store payment card data. It is a contractual obligation applied and enforced - by means of fines or other restrictions - directly by the payment providers themselves. As the cybercrime market evolves, attackers, targets and techniques do as well. The majority of data breaches still occur because basic controls are not in place, or because those that were present were not consistently implemented across an organization. If obvious weaknesses are left exposed, chances are the attacker will exploit them. The objective of this revised practical guide is to give entities advice and tips on the entire PCI implementation process. It provides a roadmap, helping entities to navigate the broad, and sometimes confusing, PCI DSS v2, and shows them how to build and maintain a sustainable PCI compliance program. This latest revision also includes increased guidance on how to ensure your compliance program is 'sustainable' and has been based on real-life scenarios, which should help to ensure your PCI compliance program remains compliant. Although the guide starts with sections on why and what is PCI, it is not intended to replace the 'publicly available' PCI information. This book looks to serve those who have been given the responsibility of PCI, and

The credit card industry established the PCI Data Security Standards to provide a minimum standard for how vendors should protect data to ensure it is not stolen by fraudsters. PCI Compliance, 3e, provides the information readers need to understand the current PCI Data Security standards, which have recently been updated to version 2.0, and how to effectively implement security within your company to be compliant with the credit card industry guidelines and protect sensitive and personally identifiable information. Security breaches continue to occur on a regular basis, affecting millions of customers and costing companies millions of dollars in fines and reparations. That doesn't include the effects such security breaches have on the reputation of the companies that suffer attacks. PCI Compliance, 3e, helps readers avoid costly breaches and inefficient compliance initiatives to keep their infrastructure secure.
*Provides a clear explanation of PCI.
*Provides practical case studies, fraud studies, and analysis of PCI.
*The first book to address version 2.0 updates to the PCI DSS, security strategy to keep your infrastructure PCI compliant.

Target dates for compliance with the PCI DSS itself have all long since passed. Many organisations - particularly those that fall below the top tier of payment card transaction volumes - are not yet compliant - and can no longer afford to put off the work required to fall into line with this global standard. This handy pocket guide will provide you with all the information you will need when considering how to approach the PCI DSS, and is an ideal tool for awareness training for your PCI staff.

The peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus is the dominant bus system used to connect the different elements making up today's high-performance computer systems. Different PCI implementations have also been developed for such applications as telecommunications and embedded computing. If an application calls for high speed, high reliability, flexible configuration, and bus mastering, then PCI is the only logical bus choice. This book is an applications-oriented introduction to the PCI bus, with an emphasis on implementing PCI in a variety of computer architectures. Special attention is given to industrial and mission-critical applications of PCI bus.
·Fully describes PCI electrical specifications, mechanical requirements, and signal types
·Covers advanced topics through numerous design examples to increase the readers understanding of the subject
·Includes updated coverage of PCI-X 2.0

The objective of this newly revised practical guide is to offer a straightforward approach to the implementation process. It provides a roadmap, helping organizations to navigate the broad and sometimes confusing PCI DSS v1.2, and shows them how to build and maintain a sustainable PCI compliance program. This book provides a route-map to achieving Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. The information in this book covers many of the fundamentals of how to create, design and build a PCI compliance framework. It is our top-selling book on PCI DSS compliance. Not only does this book do the above, it also functions as a key support reference for those who are involved in the PCI compliance process in their day-to-day activities. If you are looking for a concise, straightforward and reliable reference to PCI DSS compliance, then this is the book you need. There is a large amount of information on the PCI DSS freely available, but it does not necessarily answer the fundamental questions you have. This is where this book excels; it covers most of the ins and outs of PCI compliance.

Today all companies, U.S. federal agencies, and non-profit organizations have valuable data on their servers that needs to be secured. One of the challenges for IT experts is learning how to use new products in a time-efficient manner, so that new implementations can go quickly and smoothly. Learning how to set up sophisticated products is time-consuming, and can be confusing. GFI's LANguard Network Security Scanner reports vulnerabilities so that they can be mitigated before unauthorized intruders can wreck havoc on your network. To take advantage of the best things that GFI's LANguard Network Security Scanner has to offer, you'll want to configure it on your network so that it captures key events and alerts you to potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
In this book Brien Posey has pinpointed the most important concepts with examples and screenshots so that systems administrators and security engineers can understand how to get the GFI security tools working quickly and effectively. His straightforward, no nonsense writing style is devoid of difficult to understand technical jargon. His descriptive examples explain how GFI's security tools enhance the security controls that are already built into your server's operating system.
