As a result of the evolution of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS), compliance issues are becoming more challenging in relation to network security for organizations of all sizes. Join Frost & Sullivan's Network Security Global Program Director, Rob Ayoub, and Digital Defense's (DDI) Compliance Services Supervisor, Alan Chin, as they discuss why network security compliance regulations are indiscriminate of the movement that the network security market makes, the latest PCI DSS 1.2 release and PCI DSS standards and implementation. This presentation will benefit organizations that are active in the network security marketplace, are required to meet PCI DSS because they process, store or transmit payment card data, advise clients on PCI DSS issues, or create PCI DSS fulfillment products.

"The PCI DSS continue to challenge organizations that must comply with the altering standards. Because there are negative ramifications to non-compliance, it is critical to understand the Standards requirements," states Ayoub. "DDI's knowledge, expertise, and strong compliance services background assists those organizations that must first achieve and then maintain PCI DSS 1.2 compliance."
