It has been quite a while since I wrote anything on airline industry forms of payment and the associated topic of payment card industry compliance, but I saw a blog post from Tom Kemp at Centrify talking about the work his firm had done with my employer Amadeus, and even taking my Amadeus hat off for a while, it is an interesting read. So if your work ever sees you trying to get your head around PCI compliance issues (and I’ve seen some horrors stories within certain unnamed airlines in the past), or if you’ve ever heard people talk about tokenization or 3D Secure and wondered what language they were speaking, then getting more familiar with issues around payments is never a bad thing.
I’m hoping to bring some interesting news from Horizons in San Francisco later this weeek, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy reading about PCI compliance.

I look forward to reading the interesting news you will be bringing from San Francisco; for those of us how have not been given the chance to go there, this would be very interesting and valuable information.
OTOH PCI-DSS compliance is a very serious and sensible matter (pour les connaisseurs)and I am glad Amadeus has treated the problem accordingly.
I would simply would not like to know that my credit card data is floating around in some poorly administered, not completely secured servers. Luckily this is not the case with Amadeus.

Event is off to a great start, now I just need to find some time between sessions to write it up properly in a post! In the meantime, check #Horizons10 on Twitter for news.
