9:00 - 9:30 | Welcome Remarks Presented by: Jeremy King, International Director, PCI Security Standards |
|
9:30 - 10:30 | Keynote: Lessons from the Miracle on the Hudson Presented by: Jeff Skiles, Co-Pilot of U.S. Airways Flight 1549 When you’re a pilot and both your engines fail over the largest city in America, you must act quickly and independently, but you must also trust in the system that has trained you and prepared you to handle such crisis moments. Jeff Skiles’ story of the “Miracle on the Hudson” would not have the perfect ending if not for years of training and preparation that allowed the two pilots to understand exactly what the other was doing – thus maximizing their time, communication, and effectiveness. Having only met each other three days earlier, Skiles and Sullenberger were able to work together as a team because they trusted in their system and training and the professionalism of everyone involved, from the air-traffic controllers to their crew. As he takes audiences through the nearly catastrophic events leading up to US Airways Flight 1549’s emergency landing on the Hudson River, Skiles delivers the key lessons and principles that made the flight crew prepared, calm, and confident so they could successfully land the plane. If such lessons can save 155 lives when time is tight and every move must be perfect, imagine what these lessons can do for your organization. |

11:40 - 12:10 | PCI DSS... Beyond Compliance and Actually Improving Cyber Defense Presented by: Adetokunbo Omotosho, Managing Consultant, Infoprive It has been observed that most organizations focus on the compliance objective of PCI DSS rather than the real intent of the standard which is to improve payment security as whole. However there are real benefits the standards offer for those really interested in the security of the payment environment . The session will focus on how to improve payment security and gaining the security benefits of the standards outside of the cardholder environment. | Waking Up in an Unaware Industry Presented by: Lina Muriel Beltran, Sales, Marketing & Product Development Director, Sipay Plus and Albert Morell, QSA, Director and Co-founder, A2SECURE This session will describe the struggle between Spanish payment providers and the PCI industry at the beginning of this decade, the Payment Provider’s initial perception of PCI DSS and how PCI helped to evolve its perception towards cybersecurity.

13:50 - 14:20 | Journey to PCI DSS Compliant Private Cloud Presented by: Adam Heczko, Security Engineer, Mirantis Inc. Securing complex computer systems such as OpenStack or Kubernetes clouds is difficult at the very first glance. To make it even worse, attackers can make many mistakes without consequences whereas a defender's single mistake could lead to a security breach. OpenStack and Kubernetes cloud operators need a simple and scalable method for securing their clouds. That starts with grouping components into compartments by its role, placement, intended use case and then looking at how those compartments interact with each other. Those interactions form the backbone of security policies and technical controls. | 2017 Cloud SIG Update Moderated by: John Markh, Standards Manager, PCI Security Standards Council Presented by: Alan Gutierrez-Arana, Director, Risk Advisory Services, National Leader Payment Card Industry (PCI) Services, RSM US LLP, Yusuf Musaji, CEO, Yusufali & Associates (Y&A) and Sam Pfanstiel, Solution Principal, Coalfire Members of the Cloud SIG provide an overview of current SIG efforts to update and enhance the cloud guidance. |

Detail will be provided on how regulation such as PSD2 in Europe may impact the deployment of these technologies around the world, and what these changes may mean for the world of card present acceptance: When a customer can interface to a merchant webstore with a mobile phone that is also their payment mechanism, what is the purpose of the traditional POS? How do solutions such as QR codes interact and impact such technologies? What is 'advanced authentication', and how secure are technologies such as biometrics when applied to payments? | A Customers Journey of Implementing a Validated P2PE Solution, the Problems, Dilemmas and Benefits – A Merchant Experience Case Study Presented by: Tracey L. Long, Senior Payment Security PCI DSS Compliance Manager, WorldPay, Peter Gore, Intel Systems Manager, McColl’s Retails Group and Jo Smith, PCI Business Analyst, WorldPay A case study with one of the UK's largest retailers discussing and highlighting the bumps in the road along implementing a validated and listed P2Pe solution.

Organizations should understand how easily unprotected card data can be stolen through remote access if they don't secure it. | Simplifying Payment Security for Small Merchants Moderated by: Lauren Holloway, Director of Standards Coordination, PCI Security Standards Council Panelists: Claire Allen, Projects Coordinator, Suresite Group Ltd., Natasja Bolton, Senior Acquirer Support QSA, Sysnet Global Solutions and Michael Christodoulides, Vice President Security and Fraud Product Team, Barclaycard A panel of Small Merchant Business Task Force members: What we’ve created, how it’s being used, where we are.
