We deliver the promise of the connected world. 

In today’s rapidly transforming environment, we integrate, secure and operate the networks, and mobile technologies that help businesses and governments around the globe expand reach, increase productivity, improve agility, and maintain longevity.

Our solutions across Connectivity, Security and Advanced Business Communications are designed to help enterprises pursue new possibilities and create entirely new revenue streams – more efficiently than ever.

In this episode of “Shift + ALT + Disrupt”: Wes Withrow drops in for a conversation about Zero Trust Architecture and Cybersecurity. We are going to talk about what is working for government agencies in terms of cybersecurity and where help is needed. We also are going to discuss how public sector organizations can truly know where they are with zero trust and how they can create a good cybersecurity roadmap.

Then our Digital Transformation Roundtable will join the program to talk about cybersecurity threats facing the government, how Network as a Service (NaaS) and Software Defined solutions can improve network efficiency and enhance security, and the growing evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in government agencies and other public sector organizations. The panel also will share what they think will be the biggest drivers in government IT for 2025.

All that, your questions, and a fun “Over or Under” game that we will play with our speakers.

Joined by: Wes Withrow, Scott Andersen, Chris Russell, and another guest.

How government agencies can work smarter and be more connected

With the introduction of PCI DSS v4.0 in 2022, many organizations realized that they could not continue to keep doing the same activities in terms of program and control evaluation. They could not keep hanging on to an evaluation approach built for past practices and an outdated standard (PCI DSS v3.2.1).
Several new and updated controls in PCI DSS v4.0 include more explicit requirements on evidence of compliance to substantiate that the assessed entity developed, implemented and is maintaining processes to support ongoing data security.  

Join our Verizon experts to learn about:
- The challenges organizations like yours face and how to improve your security controls.
- The methods and concepts highlighted in this report and how those can help organizations design coherent program performance measurement and evaluation plans

2024 Payment Security Report for Small and Medium Business

With the introduction of PCI DSS v4.0 in 2022, many organizations realized that they could not continue to keep doing the same activities in terms of payment security program and control evaluation. They could not keep hanging on to an evaluation approach built for past practices and an outdated standard (PCI DSS v3.2.1).  Public sector security teams are under competitive pressure to upgrade their program management efforts. They are held accountable for designing and implementing updated practices aligned with current requirements.  Updating your PCI security program—both in terms of design and evaluation—does not need to be a complex, lengthy and costly process.

Join our 2024 PSR webinar to hear from our experts about:
- how to address the biggest limitations of annual compliance reviews.
- how to build specific, measurable and quantifiable metrics to track progress toward goals and objectives.
- how to measure program performance and develop the capabilities to keep stakeholders informed on the status and progress of achieving the overall goal of PCI security compliance

2024 Payment Security Report for Public Sector

Compliance management requires an investment of resources. More than ever before, organizations need to apply management methods that offer clear visibility and perspective to deliver necessary work as economically as possible. How do you know that you are getting the right work done in the right manner to effectively help secure your payment card data and maintain sustainable compliance? How should organizations measure security control effectiveness, report the return on investment, and express the business value of their PCI security program?“

Join our Verizon 2024 Payment Security Report release webinar to learn more about:
- The methods and concepts highlighted in this report and how they can help organizations design coherent program performance measurement and evaluation plans, focusing on what matters, as well as simplifying security compliance operating environments.
- Essential elements of program design based on an actionable strategy and how to overcome the complexities of PCI security compliance management.
- Critical importance of evaluating each aspect of your security program—starting with an assessment of the planning and design of the program as well as analyzing the overall ongoing performance and outcomes.

2024 Payment Security Report: Succeeding with PCI DSS v4.0 post-implementation measurement and evaluation
