What Are PCI ASV Services?

• In the realm of digital transactions, securing cardholder data against cyber threats is not just a necessity but a mandated requirement. PCI-ASV services are specialized security services designated by the PCI SSC to perform external network vulnerability scans to identify weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by cyber-criminals.

Why Are PCI ASV Services Essential?
