PCI in Europe Today

The trip back to the U.S. from the European PCI Community Meeting in Prague took about 12 hours. For someone who lives and breathes PCI, that equals one hour for each of the 12 requirements of the Data Security Standard (DSS). Here are my impressions of the conference.

Since the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and how he or she reports has a major impact on security and risk, I think it’s interesting to look at how different organizations have structured the position. With that said, there is very little consistency other than a correlation with the industry vertical’s understanding of IT risk.

At the PCI Community Meeting last month in Las Vegas, one thing was abundantly clear – merchants and service providers need help.

As the PCI Community Meeting is set to start tomorrow, I have been thinking about the current state of the retail marketplace and what that means for NetSPI's focus--security and compliance.

From the "never been asked that question before" files, I recently had a client who wanted to know about wireless keyboards and whether they are in-scope for PCI.

When you think back to some of the big technical evolutions that changed our lives in positive ways, email certainly stands among them.
