New Webinar Series Provides Tokenization Guidance and Fills the Vacuum Left by the PCI Council

EUGENE, OR (Businesswire) December 21, 2011 – Prime Factors, Inc., has announced a series of webinars that provide guidance that the PCI Council failed to provide when it published an “Information Supplement” on tokenization in August.

The webinars will feature Adrian Lane, senior analyst for data security analyst firm Securosis who authored an informative white paper titled "Tokenization Guidance: How to Reduce PCI Compliance Costs." The 28-page white paper is available as a free download on the Prime Factors website.

The webinar series will zero in on important topics covered in the white paper such what to do about the lack of guidance from the PCI council, how to cut PCI audit costs, and how to select the right tokenization solution for your situation.

The first webinar on January 17th will analyze the PCI’s Information Supplement, and tell you what they got right and wrong, what they failed to do, and what companies can do about it. Lane’s recommendations are based on dozens of interviews, hundreds of hours of research and a deep dive into deployment, auditing and scope reduction concerns people have regarding tokens. Recommendations made in the white paper and to be discussed in detail in the webinars have been vetted with Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs) to ensure the advice holds up to PCI requirements with minimal friction during the assessment process.

The second webinar will begin where the first one ends and will offer insight on how tokenization can reduce PCI scope and audit costs by up to 50 percent. Lane will explain how tokenization reduces complexity and removes systems from scope. The final Webinar will help you select a tokenization solution and then design it for PCI compliance.

The first Prime Factors webinar on Tokenization Guidance is January 17th at 2 pm (EST), 11 am (PST). Registration is now open. Additional information on www.securosis.com and Prime Factors can be found at their respective company websites.
