Presented by: Tim Cormier, Director, Lab Validation Programs, PCI Security Standards Council and Dr Berny Goodheart, Manager, Lab Programs, PCI Security Standards Council

The presentation will be to highlight the information in the guide and how the guide uses real world attacks and solution to current merchant problems. The problems remain the same and the guidance document is a great resource for merchants of all sizes to provide some basic physical security procedures.

The goal is to provide education to merchants and to allow QSAs a resource to provide to their customers.
