Accelerate the path to PCI DSS data compliance using IBM Guardium

This article gives you a step-by-step overview of using the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) accelerator that is included with the standard IBM Guardium data security and protection solution. The PCI DSS is a set of technical and operational requirements designed to protect cardholder data and applies to all organizations who store, process, use, or transmit cardholder data. Failure to comply can mean loss of privileges, stiff fines, and, in the case of a data breach, severe loss of consumer confidence in your brand or services. The IBM Guardium accelerator helps guide you through the process of complying with parts of the standard using predefined policies, reports, group definitions, and more.

On demand data in Python, Part 1: Python iterators and generators

The oldest known way to process data in Python is building up data in lists, dictionaries and other such data structures. Though such techniques work well in many cases, they cause major problems when dealing with large quantities of data. It's easy to find that your code is running painfully slowly or running out of memory. Generators and iterators help address this problem. These techniques have been around in Python for a while but are not well understood. Used properly, they can bring big data tasks down to size so that they don't require a huge hardware investment to complete.
