Understand your PCI Journey and take a peek at the next generation of Smart TPS - Angus Blest and Neil O'Neil (the hacker!), The Logic Group

Through phishing, malware, illegal access to e-commerce sites, and infiltrating bank networks, the modern “hacker” has no need of a mask or gun to steal from your bank account or your credit card.  A few minutes’ work on a keyboard gave thieves free access to 22,000 live credit cards in 2009 – all from home. Join Hamish Mackness and Neil O'Neil (the hacker!), who will present the story of the Smart TPS pre-accredited solution to date and take a live look at the next generation of pre-accredited end-to-end encryption technology. This session will give you invaluable information for your own PCI journey and will include a live demonstration of hacker breaking into your systems.
