Message-ID: <BANLkTiny1iTX3LAQSt2Nt5G5G8gV3DpPdg(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 hmm...Kinuthia, I agree and sort of disagree with you on who has access to the technologies. True, the biggest beneficiaries are governments. The trick here is to figure out the motivation behind trying to 'crack' the security or lack of it. Who would have imagined trying to crack standard 802.xx wireless networks in the past. GSM hardware is slowly becoming commoditized. You are now using gsm/umts to do millions in transactions from Mpesa to ATM's....currently you can get firmware for a baseband processor, FREE, you can build in your house today a small gsm network for tests or whatever, for less than 1000 USD...my point is...don't ignore this (well you cant do much about it, but have it at the back of your mind) - and if a criminal, ditch the cellphone:-)....the ATM you go to is probably using GSM/UMTS:-), so is your MPESA and whatever mobile money transfer you use.... You still think there's no motivation to invest in this stuff....:-) JGitau On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 9:53 PM, Kinuthia Ngugi <kinuthia.ngugi(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On a similar note, a very interesting account of the Athens Affair, for > those who maybe patient to read through.

All institutions or entities which store process or transmit card holder data are subject to compliance with these constantly evolving standards. Many organisations have achieved compliance whilst others are making significant progress in achieving compliance not without its challenges. Organisations still face a significant challenge of interpreting and applying this evolving set of standards as well as ensuring that compliance is maintained at all times, but more importantly addressing risk mitigation measures as threats evolve. The PCI DSS Implementation Training is designed for card payments and IT specialists focused on managing and implementing all aspects of PCI compliance controls with their organisations. The training covers PCI DSS from an implementation perspective, also covered are guidelines on PA DSS, and PTS as well as additional best practices such as vulnerability assessment and secure software development. Delegates who attend this course will find many answers to pressing questions and are equipped with clear and practical guidance helping save effort, time and money. --
