PCI Abu Dhabi is designed to meet the needs of key stakeholders and decision makers who are responsible for securing I.T. systems, protecting customer data, reducing risk and meeting compliance requirements within merchants, acquiring banks and payments service providers. The agenda provides strategic and technical advice, examples of best practice and practical case studies. The conference details how organisations can overcome business challenges, address critical security issues, reduce the risk of a data breach and ensure an effective response should a data compromise occur. Those attending include heads and directors of I.T., information security, PCI DSS compliance, application and network security, e-commerce, e-payments, finance, change management, HR, QA, audit, fraud and compliance. Industry sectors typically represented range from retail through to insurance and telecommunications.
