Society of Payment Security Professionals - Payment Security Blog

ETA in full effect

I arrived in Las Vegas today for the Eletronic Transaction Associaiton (ETA) conference.  It’s a whos-who of the payments industry.  Today for the first time, my email box was dry as people are all in transit to Vegas.

The Aegenis Group will have a booth!  Come by and visit; we are right next door to the JCB booth.  There will be some very interesting events happening tomorrow, and of those we will be officially rolling out several new projects:

• Society of Payment Security Professionals (SPSP) - I’ve seen the membership and it really is a whos-who cross-section of the industry.  Merchants, acquirers, QSAs, etc.  Be there or be square.  A few free memberships are still available, but going fast!
• Certified Payment-Card Industry Security Manager - Become the first one on your block to be CPISM certified!  Show off to others that you know your payment industry foo.
• Podcasts - Get your free and informative podcasts about the different nuances of PCI and regulatory compliance.  If you don’t have iTunes then check the raw files here.
• eLearning - If you want training and education for your merchants, but want it delivered in a simple online fashion then this product is for you.

If you’re at ETA and want to talk, come by our booth or give me a call.  Also, if you’re going to be in Warsaw, Poland next week let me know.  I’m looking forward to seeing all the QSAs there - new and old.  Going to be in Australia in June?  I am, so look me up.  I still have a phone SIM from my last trip to AU so I’ll publish the phone number when I figure it out.
