Are GitHub downloads safe?
It’s not “safe”. GitHub allows anonymous users to upload anything they want including malware. You could get infected by downloading/executing code or visiting anything on the “github.io” domain where arbitrary javascript (and therefore 0-day browser exploits) might be found (github.com is safer than github.io).
Are files from GitHub safe?
GitHub has pretty secure end-to-end transmission, and you can check the integrity of the repo with checksums to virtually eliminate the man-in-the-middle stuff.
Who is responsible for compliance with the PCI DSS?
The PCI DSS is administered and managed by the PCI SSC (www.pcisecuritystandards.org), an independent body that was created by the major payment card brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and JCB.). It is important to note that the payment brands and acquirers are responsible for enforcing compliance, not the PCI council.
Can a third party company validate PCI compliance?
A: Yes. Merely using a third-party company does not exclude a company from PCI DSS compliance. It may cut down on their risk exposure and consequently reduce the effort to validate compliance. However, it does not mean they can ignore the PCI DSS. Q9: My business has multiple locations, is each location required to validate PCI compliance?
What are the requirements for PCI DSS vulnerability scanning?
This requirement requires companies to perform internal and external vulnerability scans four times a year in three months and after any significant network changes, irrespective of its size. But PCI DSS requirement 11.2 is not just about scanning network components and servers to identify vulnerabilities before attackers.
