Challenge	Permission Interactive, an e-commerce company handling sensitive customer information, faced challenges in meeting PCI compliance standards. Their existing McAfee vulnerability management solution was only helping them 'check the box' for PCI compliance without improving their overall security landscape. A full audit revealed significant gaps in security best practices and overall compliance, prompting the company to seek a more robust solution. Read More
About Customer	Permission Interactive is an e-commerce company that deals with up to 40 thousand customers daily, handling a significant amount of sensitive customer information, including credit card data. The company had been using a vulnerability management solution from McAfee for several years to help meet PCI regulations. However, the solution was only helping them meet the basic compliance requirements without enhancing their overall security posture. Frustrated with the limitations of their current solution, Permission Interactive decided to conduct a full audit to assess their security practices and compliance status. The audit results were disappointing, revealing significant gaps in their security measures and overall compliance. Read More
Solution	Permission Interactive decided to evaluate new security vendors, focusing on those who could help with their primary concern—PCI compliance. After reviewing the list of approved scanning vendors (ASVs) on the PCI website, they narrowed down their options to a small group for full evaluation. Rapid7 stood out due to its robust vulnerability management and scalability. Additionally, Permission Interactive was intrigued by Rapid7's acquisition of the Metasploit Project, a renowned open-source penetration testing platform. Rapid7's dedication to enhancing its vulnerability management solution with integrated penetration testing and continued support for community collaboration made it an easy choice for Permission Interactive. The company was impressed by Rapid7's ability to protect data and control security for both PCI compliance and e-commerce on a grand scale, far beyond what competitors could offer.
