OT: what is an NSC?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

Sorry for asking an off topic question here, but
I know you guys will know the answer off the
top of your heads.

What is an "NSC" used in this context?

1.3.3 NSCs are installed between all wireless
    networks and the CDE, regardless of whether
    the wireless network is a CDE

CDE is Card Holder Environment.

Many thanks,
-T

It might be more understandable if you said where this quote comes
from.

Richard answered the question.  It means "Network security controls"

In answer to your question:
https://docs-prv.pcisecuritystandards.org/SAQ%20(Assessment)/SAQ/PCI-DSS-v4-...
Page 15,  1.3.1 "expected Testing"

[Roger Heflin]

Google PCI (PCI is the term for the credit card environment rules) and
NSC and it comes back as "network security control".

So firewall rules/ACL's and possibly network inspection devices and
anything else that is a network control.

These days Google is all about advertising and click-bait. Try
https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=NSC%20wireless

Wikipedia disambiguation is often helpful, but not in this case.

User coming to linux whose commuting experience has been
limited to computer labs and cell phones are confused when told
they need to reboot after installing updates.  Googling reboot leads
to a bunch of AI clickbait, often with answers like "to reboot your
PC, turn off the power".   Wikipedia explains "warm boot vs cold boot"
