Sponsor Prime Factors’ goal is to make Strategy Session the best source for information, news and views about PCI

EUGENE, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In the payments industry, no topic has generated more angst and confusion in recent years than PCI Compliance. To provide education and insights into this complex issue, PaymentsJournal.com today announced the launch of the PCI Compliance Strategy Session featuring news headlines, whitepapers, surveys, expert commentary and resource links.

“Data Encryption 101: A Pragmatic Guide to PCI-DSS Compliance”

“The PCI Compliance Strategy Session is sponsored by Prime Factors, which is committed to making it the place you need to go to know about PCI,” said Prime Factors President Patrick Riley.

Managed by the Mercator Advisory Group, the leading, independent research and advisory services firm exclusively focused on the payments and banking industries, PaymentsJournal.com delivers extensive payments and banking news, expert analysis, views, and shared research to create an information rich portal.

Prime Factors will work with Mercator Advisory Group to uncover the latest on PCI and provide insights and advice on the topic from industry experts.
