When taken out of its protected production environment, cardholder data is vulnerable to abuse and theft. This Webinar, titled "Protecting Sensitive Customer Data Before It's Too Late! ... Featuring a MasterCard Perspective," will focus on data privacy issues and how PCI DSS requirements can be addressed. 

The Webinar will highlight MasterCard's role in developing the PCI Standard and describe the progress that organizations are making to comply with the Standard's twelve multifaceted requirements. Other topics will cover international, high-profile data breaches and the subsequent impact on businesses, as well as updates on the latest figures on trends and fines. Attending this Webinar provides attendees with an opportunity to learn about:

• Why merchants, retailers and financial organizations that process or transmit cardholder data should implement a strategy for PCI compliance
• What MasterCard is doing to ensure compliance with PCI regulations
• How safeguarding customer data protects a company's bottom line
• How masking / de-identifying data can mitigate the internal threat, as mandated by the PCI DSS

This Webinar will also present a best practice methodology for protecting cardholder data in the more vulnerable development, testing, training and other non-production environments, with specific reference to ways in which retailers can address PCI DSS mandated compliance requirements.
