Ecora Software (http://www.ecora.com) is hosting a series of breakfast seminars to help organizations understand the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.

These seminars are free to attend and provide an opportunity to interact with experts on what the PCI standard requires, why it is important, and how automating the collection of key security-related configuration and change information can provide enterprise configuration visibility, improve infrastructure security and effectiveness, and reduce the time and costs involved in preparing for PCI and other security compliance audits.

Speaking at each event will be Alex Bakman (http://www.ecora.com/ecora/news/bureau.asp), Founder and CTO of Ecora Software and a recognized expert in infrastructure security and compliance , along with speakers from other leading risk, security, and compliance organizations.

Ecora is a member of the PCI Security Standards Council (https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/)and the PCI Security Vendors Alliance (http://www.pcialliance.org/).

It looks like you have several events across the country. Why not in San Francisco? You may want to consider presenting at the PCI Training Event (http://pciconference.com/register.shtml) for merchants and service providers in San Francisco, CA on March 23-24, 2007.
