Presidio and Cisco Bring PCI Compliance to a Theater Near You: 'The PCI Ultimatum: A Data Security Thriller' Helps Users Navigate 200+ Security Regulations

The two companies will sponsor "The PCI Ultimatum: A Data Security Thriller," a full-length film to be presented in Atlanta on February 28, 2008. The movie provides a real-world case study of a mid-size company coping with the complexities of the standard while striving to stave off attacks on its network.

-- How to complete a PCI compliance project with limited resources and
personnel

-- Charting a plan for compliance while avoiding stumbling blocks
-- Specific technology solutions that satisfy the PCI Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS)
-- How to prioritize, fund and deploy security solutions while managing
expectations for success

Attendees will enjoy the film's light-hearted approach, which uses parody to drive home the challenges of completing real-world projects on time and within budget -- while bearing the weight of over 200 PCI industry regulations.
