Bruce Rutherford, head of MasterCard’s fraud management solutions, payment system integrity group, will serve as this year’s chairperson of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council.
Under Rutherford’s leadership, the council will release new standards to enhance payment account security and awareness in 2010. Additionally, Rutherford will work with the council’s board of advisors, participating organizations, assessor community, and merchants to increase adoption of PCI standards.
“This next year will be crucial for developing the ongoing practices and disciplines necessary for the security of payment card transactions,” says Bob Russo, general manager of PCI Security Standards. “I look forward to working closely with Bruce and the rest of the council’s stakeholders to continue to improve payment security globally.”
