Achieving PCI Compliance for Containers

Although microservices and containers are not explicitly mentioned in PCI-DSS for PCI compliance, organizations implementing these technologies must focus carefully on monitoring, securing, and governance. Microservices and containers offer some unique characteristics that support pci compliance. For example, microservices emphasize an architecture with one function per service/container. This aligns well with PCI-DSS 2.2.1, implementing only […]
