ARCHIVED WEBCAST:
What Retail Wireless Hackers Don’t Want You to Know :
Preventing Data Breaches While Meeting PCI Compliance

Federal authorities recently charged an international credit card theft ring called “Operation Get Rich or Die Tryin” for stealing data for at least 130 million credit and debit cards, the biggest identity theft case ever prosecuted in the United States. The suspects have been accused of using wireless scanners to find stores with vulnerable networks and then capture credit-card numbers, PINs, and other account information, amongst other attacks. These massive data breaches have questioned the efficacy of the Payment Card Industry’s security standards.

Join experts from the Aegenis Group and Motorola AirDefense, as they explore the wireless vulnerabilities that lead to breaches and discuss best practices to secure the retail airspace from wireless intrusions. This complimentary webcast will also cover recently announced PCI wireless guidelines and strategies that achieve real wireless security while facilitating gap-free PCI compliance.
