As a large bank running MySQL we are looking for the easiest ways to reach PCI compliance for MySQL. We ran across a few products that claim to give you PCI compliance for mysql. They offered a secure MySQL appliance that encrypts data and enables PCI compliance. But we didn’t see these products scaling long term especially when it comes to PCI 3.6.6. We had no idea how to encrypt Credit card data on MySQL and a secure MySQL appliance with encryption just wasn’t as good of a fit as the secure file server solution that encrypts data and enables PCI compliance we found with CritoTech. They have the best Key management with Encryption key management mysql called a Key Storage System or KSS.
Vormetric File Encryption Expert wasn’t able to offer this level of granularity.
“One of my biggest PCI challenges in managing our data center with hundreds of MySQL servers was, “How are we going to secure our customer’s data, without a huge performance hit?” CritoTech’s ezNcrypt solution has put these concerns to rest.”
pci on the lamp stack is very difficult to achieve especially with the different linux filesystem encryption techniques out there. Even linux database encryption was not easy to find.
