Security & Compliance Thru the Lens of a Technology Journalist, Part 1 – Evan Schuman – SCW #96
In the early days of PCI there was an online column called StorefrontBacktalk which focused on retail and technology issues. The column provided valuable insights from various specialists on the interpretation and application of many of the more challenging security requirements found in PCI DSS which was reflected in its tag line, “Techniques, Tools and Tirade about Retail Technology and E-Commerce. The founder of the column, Evan Schuman, is a veteran journalist who has covered a wide range of technology, privacy and legal issues over the past three decades. Evan will give us his take on many of the issues facing the connected world -past, present, and future.
