New PCI Standard Available in October

PCI 1.2, the updated version of the credit card industry security standard, is expected out in October, according to SC Magazine.

This is the first revision of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) since 2006.

Apparently some overlapping items will be fixed, reporting protocols will be clarified and the glossary will be expanded.

Now, let's try to stay calm and not all jump for joy, at once. I know the enthusiasm will be contagious.
