According to the PCI DSS Council, more than three quarters of the largest US merchants now meet PCI requirements. Then why do we continue to hear about merchants experiencing data loss and data breaches? Does this mean that simply checking the PCI compliance box is not enough to protect cardholder data?

To truly secure sensitive customer data requires a strategy based on a thorough analysis of processes and technologies used for classifying and protecting data.

In this seminar you will learn about:

• The latest PCI developments
• How cardholder data flows throughout an organization
• What PCI Auditors are looking for in 2008
• How to determine where cardholder data is located and how it is being used
• How to mitigate the risks of a data breach affecting cardholder and other sensitive data
• How PCI compliance can be used as a jumping off point for other data security initiatives

Who Should Attend                                                                                                             IT security and data privacy professionals, compliance management and internal auditors who want to move beyond “check box” PCI compliance and put effective solutions in place to protect cardholder data and other valuable data assets
