Volume 6, Issue 1 Payment Processing News from Shift4 Corporation August 2005
   

With the rise in credit card data theft, increasing financial fines and the approaching (and in some cases past) deadlines for compliance, the security of transaction processing has never been more important. That is why Shift4 is sponsoring this year's Transaction Security Summit.

This unique program is designed to offer merchants a first hand look at how to obtain, maintain and certify the security of their payment process. The summit centers on the latest Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) for merchants. Presenters include a variety of industry security experts, including Chris Mark from MasterCard, Wen Free from Security Metrics (one of just a handful of security audit companies approved by the card associations to perform complete security audits for merchants and payment applications) and D.J. Vogel, a leading forensic expert on credit card data theft and fraud who worked directly with the card associations on the development of the security regulations. Other speakers include individuals from law enforcement, leading corporate law firms, banks and processors.

The summit is an in-depth program that will provide you with all the tools and resources you need to complete your certification. We've even worked with several security auditing firms, who perform the quarterly scans, to get our merchants a significant discount off their listed prices.

The event is $299 for the first attendee from your company and $199 for each additional attendee. The event will be held at the beautiful JW Marriott Las Vegas. Suites are available there for $149 a night (you'll need to mention you are attending the Shift4 event to receive this price). As you will see from the agenda outlined on the side, we are covering a lot of information, so sessions will run to 5:00 pm on Thursday. Please plan your travel accordingly.

If you have any questions about this event, please contact (702) 938-3439 to speak with Christa Kelly. The online registration for this summit, as well as further information, can be found at www.shift4.com/security_summit.cfm. Please note that attendance is limited to the first 350 registrants, so sign up today.
