Media Alert: Data Security Expert Shares Insight on Achieving Compliance on IBM Mainframe Using Tokenization

IBM System z Expo - Tuesday, October 6, 2009 - Orlando, Florida
--(Business Wire)--
Title: Beyond Data Security: Meeting PCI Compliance and Other Regulatory Laws

Overview: The IBM System z, or mainframe as it is often called, has historically
been considered secure because of the strong access control mechanisms. However,
given the number of breaches of credit card and other personally identifiable
information (PII), the Payment Card Industry`s Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
and other regulatory laws are mandating that data be encrypted. Along with
encryption comes the need to manage encryption keys and generating and logging
all actions by individuals. In addition to traditional encryption, other models
have surfaced including tokenization, which enables surrogate data to replace
the sensitive data, often using the IBM z as the central repository for a "data
vault."

In this session attendees will learn for the IBM z:

* Encryption options
* Key management requirements and best practices
* Tokenization across a distributed enterprise
* SOA enabling the IBM z for tokenization
* Case Study: PCI Compliance in the Insurance/Financial Services industry

Where: Hilton Orlando, 6001 Destination Parkway Orlando Florida, USA, 32819

When: Tuesday, October 6, 2009
