What feature of Deep Security helps confirm compliance against standards such as PCI and HIPAA?

Deep Security Smart Check is designed to help organizations confirm compliance with various security standards, including PCI (Payment Card Industry) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). This feature performs vulnerability assessments and ensures the integrity of applications and their configurations. By regularly scanning for known vulnerabilities and providing insights into the potential risks associated with software deployments, Smart Check enables organizations to maintain compliance by addressing security concerns proactively.

Compliance frameworks like PCI and HIPAA necessitate robust security practices, including vulnerability management and risk assessment, which Smart Check specifically targets. By leveraging this feature, organizations can demonstrate adherence to required security controls and reduce the likelihood of violating compliance requirements.

Automated reporting, runtime monitoring, and network traffic analysis, while valuable components of a comprehensive security strategy, focus on different aspects of security management. Automated reporting provides insights and documentation that can support compliance efforts, runtime monitoring helps protect applications during use, and network traffic analysis focuses on understanding traffic patterns. However, for the explicit purpose of confirming compliance against specific standards, Deep Security Smart Check is the most relevant feature.
