Charlotte, NC – Calyptix Security, a leading provider of network security and management tools for small and medium businesses, today announced a new release of its UTM firewall, AccessEnforcer. Included are more than 10 improvements to the device’s security, ease of use, and compliance with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
AccessEnforcer version 3.1.17 brings two enhancements that will help IT providers and their clients more easily pass network scans for PCI DSS compliance:
The PCI Security Standards Council released an unscheduled update to the PCI DSS requirements on April 15. Effective immediately, PCI DSS version 3.1 forbids the use of SSL and TLS 1.0 encryption protocols to protect cardholder data.
“PCI DSS compliance is a growing concern for our reseller partners and their clients. The improvements we’ve made to AccessEnforcer will make it easier for small businesses to achieve and maintain PCI compliance on their networks. We will continue to improve our firewall and services to meet those needs,” said Ben Yarbrough, CEO, Calyptix Security.
The AccessEnforcer devices of Calyptix partners and customers will automatically update to version 3.1.17 in the coming weeks. All AccessEnforcers automatically update security rules and firmware as part of standard service. This saves time for network administrators and improves security by ensuring the latest updates are applied quickly and easily.
AccessEnforcer version 3.1.17 also brings several enhancements to the device’s VPN service:
“The improvements we’ve made to CalyptixVPN really embody our aim with AccessEnforcer. We strive to help IT providers and their clients enhance network security and save time, and that’s exactly what these changes do,” said Yarbrough.
