“Securing payment card data in Italy”
Executive Summary
It is vital to tackle the security challenges presented to the payment card industry by issues such as information security and data privacy as well as fraud protection for both consumers and suppliers. Not only are such issues operational requirements but fundamental in order to retain existing customers.
The payment industry is now working together in order to proactively tackle such challenges (not least through the PCI Data Security Standard) in order to adopt more robust security policies, protect brand reputation, and increase customer trust.
Building on the success of PCI Europe 2008, PCI Europe series and PCI CEMEA series, PCI Milan was aimed to attract key stakeholders in the payment card industry from across Italy. It met the needs of merchants, acquirers, and payments processors who are responsible for securing their transaction environment throughout Italy.
Objectives
PCI Milan provided attendees with thought leadership and guidance in using security and compliance as a business enabler, business driver and a source of competitive advantage. Themes addressed included:
- Promoting awareness, knowledge sharing, innovation and good practice amongst the key stakeholders in the payment card industry across Italy.
- Encouraging the adoption of existing good practices and emerging technologies in order to facilitate a secure card transaction framework that will encourage competition and increased revenue streams for Italian businesses.
- Facilitating communication in order to proactively combat payment fraud, identity theft and related threats to business operations, while optimising and securing payment processing at each stage of the transaction chain.
- Exploring how organisations can market security and compliance as a means of generating business while increasing brand reputation and building trust
Taking place in the business hub of Italy, PCI Milan comprised plenary sessions addressing strategic and management related issues, a dedicated series of education seminars exploring technical challenges and solutions and a series of networking breaks.
