After the sixth annual North American Community Meeting in Orlando, Florida which was attended by over 1,000 stakeholders representing 460 organizations from 17 countries to discuss the PCI SSC summaries the key discussion topics as: -
- Feedback on the standards in preparation for the release of the next version of the PCI DSS and PA-DSS in 2013
- New guidance on secure mobile payment acceptance application development
- Updates to the Council’s Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) program
- Newly released guidelines for ATM security
- The Council’s new training programs and professional qualifications
- Updates from PCI Special Interest Groups on cloud, eCommerce and risk assessment
“The Community Meetings play an important part in bringing together PCI stakeholders to discuss the latest payment card security efforts, and we’re encouraged to see the continued growth of interest and participation in this initiative,” said Bob Russo, general manager, PCI Security Standards Council. “Gaining the feedback from our Participating Organizations is absolutely vital for us to develop new guidance on key topics such as mobile payment acceptance and ATM security, as well as in the on-going improvement of the PCI Standards. The input and discussion at this year’s meetings are especially important as we look to introduce the next version of the PCI Standards in 2013.”
“It is important for us to meet face-to-face with our stakeholders, not only to update them on the most recent developments, but also to have one-on-one interactions and personal conversations on the issues that matter most to them,” said Jeremy King, European director, PCI Security Standards Council. “We look forward to seeing more of our global counterparts in Dublin for the European Community Meeting on October 22-24, 2012.”
See you in Dublin next month.
