PCI News & Program Updates

Europe Community Meeting highlights
Payment security is rising to the top of the agenda for business leaders heading into 2017, as looming EU data protection legislation could result in substantial regulatory penalties for businesses that experience cybersecurity breaches. It’s against this backdrop that global payment and cybersecurity experts met at the PCI Europe Community Meeting in Edinburgh last week to collaborate on helping businesses prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks that can lead to payment data breaches and fraud.
