I'm confused. Is this an advertisement on IBM-MAIN? George Fogg -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Timothy Sipples Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 5:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: IBM PR: PCI Security Compliance Workshop in Maryland
On June 18 and 19, 2008, IBM will be offering a security-related workshop entitled "PCI Security Compliance with z/OS Communications Server and System z." This two day workshop includes both lectures and hands-on lab exercises, and you will receive written course materials to take home for reference and further study. There's been a lot of discussion here about meeting PCI (Payment Card Industry) security standards. (It's a common challenge many of you are facing.) If you play a role in helping your company meet those standards, then this workshop would be an excellent learning opportunity. (The workshop is also open to IBM partners.) There is no tuition fee for this workshop, although you will need to fund your own travel expenses. Day 2 ends at 3:00 p.m. so that many of you will be able to catch late afternoon/early evening flights back home. You should have some working familiarity with Communications Server for z/OS and the z/OS Security Server (RACF) as a prerequisite. The workshop covers a lot of details about how PCI standards map to System z capabilities, implementing and managing X.509 certificates, implementing and managing security policies, etc. The workshop is at the IBM Washington Systems Center in Gaithersburg, Maryland. For more information or to reserve a seat, please e-mail Gwen Dente ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and use the subject line "Security Workshop June." Please include at least your name, title, organization, and contact details (e-mail and telephone). There are a few more seats available as I write this, which is why I'm sending this notice out to the list (and also because it's a hot discussion topic). Please e-mail Gwen no later than June 9. If you are located elsewhere in the world (such as Europe or Asia), and you are interested in such a workshop in your part of the world, please let Gwen know of your interest. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
