Princeton, New Jersey – May 23, 2007 – Princeton Softech, the market leader in enterprise data management, will be sponsoring, exhibiting and speaking at the 2007 Charlotte CIO Forum & Executive IT Summit. With a focus on compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Princeton Softech has invited several distinguished security experts and guest speakers to discuss PCI DSS compliance issues for retailers, merchants and companies that process payment card transactions:
- Richard Simpson is a Senior Examiner and Senior Information Technology Risk Coordinator with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. After working at Bank of America for more than 21 years and retiring as a Senior Vice President and Division Executive, Simpson recently joined the Federal Reserve based in Charlotte. In his last seven years with Bank of America he held a series of national leadership roles – Technology Executive for Marketing, Manager of Associate and Desktop Technology, Manager of US Data Centers and Network Operations, and Manager of Technology Transition Projects to complete the merger of NationsBank and Bank of America.
- J.P. Calderon is the Information Security Officer at Family Dollar Stores. Family Dollar is one of the fastest growing discount store chains in the United States with more than 6,300 stores in a 44-state area, ranging northwest to Idaho, northeast to Maine, southeast to Florida, and southwest to Arizona.
- David Taylor created and is the Vice President of the Data Security Strategies Consulting Group at Protegrity, the leader in enterprise-wide Data Security Management™ solutions. Taylor is also President of the PCI Security Vendor Alliance (SVA), which he co-founded as an outgrowth of his activity in building PCI-related partnerships among the vendors focused on compliance with the PCI DSS.
- Tom Rydz, Regional Vice President of Sales at Princeton Softech, has more than 20 years of sales and management experience in the computer technology and software industries. He is a frequent presenter on the topics of data privacy and compliance, as well as enterprise data management, database archiving and test data management strategies.
What:
Business and IT professionals, who attend Princeton Softech’s interactive panel discussion, titled, “Understanding PCI Regulations and Applying Strategies to Ensure Cardholder Privacy,” will gain insight into how companies are addressing PCI DSS requirements and will learn about solutions that support compliance initiatives. Attendees will also gain valuable insight in:
- Understanding how safeguarding customer data protects a company’s bottom line.
- Assessing the impact of PCI DSS requirements on retailers, merchants, banks and other affected corporations.
- Overcoming the fears associated with implementing technologies to become/remain compliant with the PCI DSS.
- Discovering how PCI DSS compliance can be leveraged to reduce costs and improve operational efficiencies.
The goal of the CIO Forum & Executive IT Summit is to provide IT professionals with industry-specific technology and vendor resources through focused, comprehensive and educational technology conferences. Typically, CIOs and Senior IT and Business Executives attend this executive-level event and are subject to approval by each region’s Executive Advisory Council. These invitation-only conferences are regionalized and span multiple communities, such as finance, corporate, education, healthcare and government.
Where and When: The PCI DSS is hailed as one of the most specific privacy guidelines for protecting the sensitive information held by merchants, retailers and other companies that store, process or transmit cardholder data. However, to fully comply with the 12 multi-faceted PCI DSS requirements, companies need to implement strategies and technologies to ensure that effective privacy safeguards are in place.
The 2007 Charlotte CIO Forum & Executive IT Summit will be held May 30 – 31, 2007 at the Marriott Executive Park, Charlotte, North Carolina. Princeton Softech’s hour-long panel discussion will take place on May 30 between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon. EDT.
