Heartland's new focus: information Sharing

After end-to-end encryption, Heartland is now focusing on Info Sharing! The Result = PPISC (Payment Processing Information Sharing Council). I dont think forming new associations or groups is a solution. The focus should be on identifying leading risk indicators and designing controls so no threat could exploit those vulnerabilties. Anyway, here is Carr's introductory statement (I like his dedication, though!)

Robert O. Carr, chairman and chief executive officer of Heartland Payment Systems^TM, one of the nation’s largest payments processors and a new member organization of FS-ISAC, believes formation of the PPISC is the most effective way to foster communication among payments processors. Carr, a strong advocate of industry collaboration, has been talking to many payments processing leaders about working together to fight cyber criminals and encouraged the formation of PPISC.
