Introducing the New P2PE Manager®
Bluefin’s P2PE Manager is the only online chain of custody system for PCI-validated P2PE. Simplifying asset management has never been easier. Bluefin recently released a redesigned P2PE Manager portal (see our webinar) that offers enhancements to easily manage and navigate dashboards, notifications, devices, email templates, filters, forms and more. Additionally, the P2PE Manager integration with the ServiceNow platform provides greater ease of use, fewer logins, and robust reporting capabilities.
“The new P2PE Manager features enhancements that offer intuitive navigation and improved capabilities, allowing for efficient analysis of information related to devices, decryptions, transactions, and attestations. The redesign helps users to derive insights and commit to actions more quickly, and we are excited to provide our clients with a more intuitive and efficient user experience.,” – Khairunisa Sharif, Bluefin Product Manager
Asset Management and Data Protection as Part of the Cybersecurity Strategy
According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), chain of custody plays an important role in security and risk mitigation for critical infrastructure sectors and their assets.
Chain of custody is a process that tracks the movement of evidence through its collection, safeguarding, and analysis lifecycle by documenting each person who handled the evidence, the date/time it was collected or transferred, and the purpose for the transfer.
Examples of assets include equipment, payment devices, infrastructure, and data. Maintaining the chain of custody increases transparency and supports risk mitigation by reducing the opportunity for malicious actors to tamper with the asset (e.g., equipment, data, or evidence). CISA states that “a break in the chain of custody occurring due to a non-validated organization or bad actor gaining custody or access increases the risk that the integrity or reliability of the asset cannot be restored.” Businesses need solutions that provide data protection as well as a secure chain of custody to keep the integrity of data assets and to prevent the risk of data breaches.
Bluefin’s patented P2PE Manager® is a 100% online system that offers organizations that have adopted PCI-validated P2PE an easy-to-use tool to administer their P2PE activities and ensure chain-of-custody compliance, enabling companies to get the full benefits of PCI scope reduction.
