PCI Compliance: Best Practices Webinar

August 21, 2008

Qwest sent me an invite to a webinar: PCI MOVING FORWARD: Best Practices to Achieve and Maintain Compliance.

PCI compliance is a constantly changing security requirement for all businesses that process, store or transmit consumer credit card information. Shifting parameters, looming deadlines and increasing responsibilities all pose a challenge to becoming compliant and staying that way. This joint webinar between Qwest Business and Cisco Systems will introduce ways to reduce risk and shorten the journey to compliance.

Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Time: 10:00 a.m. Pacific/1:00 p.m. Eastern

How Safe is the Cloud?

August 12, 2008

Network World has a story about how an online storage site, Linkup, formerly known as MediaMax, shut down this week after 45% of the data was lost. Who's fault is it? Well, the article tries to figure that out.

As we have seen, outages are everywhere - Amazon, Google, etc.

PCI Compliance

July 7, 2008

Elizabeth Bowles at Aristotle.Net gave a session on e-Commerce that included some PCI DSS stuff. PCI DSS is like HIPAA in a lot of ways: buzz but no one has a handle on it. There's more myth than fact, but who is going to sift through the hundreds of pages of law?

In most of these laws (HIPAA, PCI, SOX) it is a matter of securing data.

NebuAd under Deep Inspection

July 2, 2008

First there was wiretaps at the telco central offices. Then there was Sandvine and DPI (deep packet inspection) to help curb Peer-to-peer file-sharing (BitTorrent) that was consuming all available bandwidth with piracy (according to the puppet masters at the MPAA and RIAA). Now there is NebuAd, where DPI meets targeted advertising. And Privacy is just a thing of the past.
