Summit 2009 Day 2 Part 3

UDC Architecture and SOA

I was a little bored by this session as the presented focused in on some topics that I’m already aware of.  Plus he went into the PL/SQL APIs to WebServices (which we’ve a done a POC with Oracle tools a couple years ago).  He did recommend a book I’ll look into “SOA Patterns.”

PCI Implementation

This was a great session since Banner is dropping payment support.  It was a little scary too.  It talked about PCI compliance and how the new rules are affecting colleges. I picked up a lot of interesting bits – e.g., compliance is by institution (not merchant), don’t keep cardholder data (on the Web side we don’t), new rule that “vulnerable” applications should be desupported on 10/1/2009 (ouch!).

Basically, this should be a finance driven project process with assistance from IT.   The presenter specifically said that “validation is at a point in time” and things change everyday.  Here’s his blueprint:

  1. CFO/VP level sponsorship
  2. Finance/IT Team
  3. Limit PCI scope
  4. Train and Communicate
  5. Create a breach response plan, e.g. two institution types – those who have had CC breaches and those that will have breaches.

I spoke with Michelle after this session for about a half hour – we should start looking at this very soon.

The rest of the day I spent working on my presentation and cleaning up some work issues.  I also spoke with Ted S.  a little bit and picked up some interesting ideas from him.
