In this webinar, Ashwin Swamy (Chief Executive Officer) and Greg DeClue (Cyber Operations Manager) will provide a step-by-step roadmap for upgrading systems, networks, and operations to meet the PCI DSS v4.0.1 “Future Dated Requirements” that will take effect on March 31, 2025.
About the Webinar
Merchants, vendors, and service providers who attend this webinar will leave with a clear understanding of how to efficiently meet the new controls -- such as authenticated vulnerability scanning (Requirement 11), Continuous Monitoring (Requirement 10), and Targeted Risk Analysis (Requirement 12) – and confidently achieve alignment in a multi-vendor retail environment.
Key frequently asked questions from fuel and convenience retail operators include the following:
- How can merchants implement authenticated vulnerability scans?
- Can you provide an example of a PCI Targeted Risk Analysis (TRA) for a fuel retail card data environment (CDE)?
- What responsibilities do the brands, POS vendors, MNSPs, payment processors, and authorized service contractors assume under the new standard?
- Are devices “connected to” the CDE held to the same standard as devices that are “in” the CDE?
- How can merchants implement systems and processes for “periodically” inspecting point-of-interaction (POI) systems for skimming devices without breaking the bank?
As part of the presentation, we will provide practical and effective examples that fuel and convenience retailers will need to take to become PCI DSS v4.0.1 compliant and field additional questions from webinar participants.
