Payment Security Professional of the Year Nominations

I can’t belive the year is almost over.  The Society of Payment Security Professionals (SPSP) has seen great success with a membership of almost 500 and several hundres of those being certified CPISM and CPISA individuals.  The Society board members have put together working groups on Application Security, Network Segmentation, and Legal Issues. Each of these groups is made up on individuals who work to help raise the awareness and clarity on these issues.

The PCI Answers blog had about 200,000 hits.  We keep getting a stream of emails and phone calls for more information and clarification.

Since you have made the Society such great success, we’ve decided to give back to you!  That’s right, the Society is now taking nominations for the Payment Security Professional (PSP) of the year.  Nominations will be collected over the next six weeks and the winner will be chosen by Advisory Board and announced on January 30, 2008.  Here is what you could win:

• 15 in MacBook Pro
• Feature article in Secure Payments, the SPSP magazine set to debut in Q1 2009.
• Highlighted profile on the Payment Security Professional of the Year page
• Recognition Plaque

Did we just say we’re giving away a MacBook Pro?  Oh yes we did!  To nominate someone, please write a 250 word brief on the individual and their contribution to payment security over the last year.

Update: Correction, please read the SPSP is currently taking nominations for PSP of the year.
