PCI/DSS (and more!) Workshop jump to agenda, hotel information

May 4-6, 2009
The Indianapolis Marriott Downtown
Indianapolis, IN
There is a special conference rate of $175 per night including Internet access.

Learn what’s new in PCI version 1.2 and the FTC’s Red Flags Rule.

Understand how the PCI Council’s Special Interest Groups’ recommendations and new Quality Assurance program will affect you.

Get a briefing on the Federal Trade Commission’s Red Flags Rule to prevent identity theft.

Benefit from the experience of other institutions that are working on PCI compliance and implementing Red Flags Rule on their campuses.

Explore and share best practices with other education institutions.

Have your questions answered by payment, banking, and security experts.

Card acquirers and processors are now insisting that all their merchants, including Higher Education institution, certify their compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). In response, the Treasury Institute for Higher Education is again sponsoring its fourth PCI DSS workshop this May.

On top of all this comes the Federal Trade Commission’s “Red Flags Rule” designed to reduce the risk of identity theft. Parts of this rule, originally aimed at financial institutions, likely cover many colleges and universities. For example, if your institution participates in the Federal Perkins Loan program, is a school lender in the Federal Family Education Loan Program, or offer loans to students, faculty or staff, your institution could be considered a “creditor” under the Red Flags Rule.

If you are a business, financial, or IT manager responsible for complying with PCI-DSS or Red Flags, you cannot afford to miss this 3-day workshop May 4-6, 2009. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of the standards, how their institution can achieve and maintain compliance, and useful new contacts at other institutions facing the same challenges. At the workshop we will:

  • Explore the foundations and business implications of PCI DSS in a half-day PCI “deep dive.” This session proved successful last year, serving as an introduction for those new to PCI and a refresher course for others.
  • Examine the FTC’s Red Flags Rule in a briefing will examining its intent and how to meet the requirements for your campus. Like the PCI deep dive, this session will be a valuable introduction or refresher for attendees.
  • Identify the changes to the standard included in the release of version 1.2 and how they affect your institution. We also will examine the PCI Council’s new Quality Assurance Program for QSAs and ASVs, the Special Interest Group (SIG) recommendations on pre-authorization data, wireless networks, PCI scoping, and virtualization.
  • Most importantly, learn first-hand from case studies of implementing PCI and addressing Red Flags Rule at public and private institutions like yours.

Last year’s workshop attracted 130 professionals from public and private institutions nationwide and featured implementation case studies, energetic discussions, unique networking opportunities, and information sharing between participants and with speakers. This year’s workshop promises to be bigger and better, with new presenters and new topics including managing your costs of compliance.

This workshop is for and by Education. Attendance is limited to education institutions except for participating banking and security experts.

PCI Compliance in Two Hours a Day
Learn how OSU’s Treasury Management and Data Security used an outsourcing strategy to achieve PCI compliance, offering OSU the most economical and efficient method of processing credit cards while minimizing data security risk. Then we address Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for encrypting wireless networks. The PCI Council’s decision to ban WEP raises questions about the permitted use of wireless to transmit credit card data.  The goal of this talk and your questions is to illustrate the use of radio based devices to move credit card data from one point to another, and to separate good from bad practices.
