With governments worldwide putting greater focus on preventing cyber-crime and identity theft, IT shops across the globe now need to secure every access point and data store across their enterprise, regardless of platform or device type. This presentation will highlight the PCI Security Standards Council’s requirements that are related to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). If you are in banking/finance, retail, or any other entity that stores or transmits credit card data, you won’t want to miss this presentation. We will discuss “the what” and “the why” of PCI DSS, PCI Council requirements, and how PCI DSS relates to you and your mainframe.

This past January, the US Department of Defense added cyberspace as a domain to protect the U.S. against, alongside long-standing domains land, air, sea and space. Clearly organizational governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) is now an enterprise-wide initiative where both government and industry associations are mandating standards. Your CIO just wants a secure IT environment that meets GRC requirements and industry standards across the board albeit mainframe, Windows, UNIX, Linux, whatever. Our goal in this presentation is to help educate SHARE attendees on the risks and keep CIOs and their companies out of the headlines for security breaches. Charles Mills, Cloud Compiling
