PCI Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE)

Training Description: PCI Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE)

Course Overview

The PCI Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) training is designed for information security professionals and payment management experts who want to understand and master the principles of end-to-end encryption to protect sensitive data during transmission within the payment ecosystem. This program will teach you how P2PE helps secure payment card data by ensuring that it is encrypted from the point of capture until final decryption, reducing the risk of data theft and fraud.

By the end of this course, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how to implement P2PE and ensure compliance with PCI DSS encryption requirements for payment card data from capture to decryption.

Training Objectives

• Understand the fundamental concepts of Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) and its crucial role in securing payment transactions.
• Master the implementation and best practices associated with P2PE in compliance with PCI DSS requirements.
• Learn the benefits of P2PE in protecting sensitive payment data, particularly in retail environments and card payment systems.
• Acquire the knowledge necessary to ensure compliance with PCI encryption requirements for payment card data, from capture to decryption.

Training Program

• Managing sensitive data and encrypted information.

4. PCI Requirements for P2PE

• How specific PCI requirements for P2PE affect payment system design.
• Decoding the security requirements related to the storage, processing, and transmission of data.
• Specific requirements for PCI-certified P2PE solution providers and implementing security controls.

5. Key Management and Secure Processes

• Key management processes: creation, distribution, storage, and rotation of keys.
• Use of asymmetric cryptography to ensure maximum security.
• Secure key management within a PCI compliance environment.

6. Securing Payments and Transactions

• Securing card payment transactions using end-to-end encryption.
• The impact of encryption on risk management and protection against cyberattacks.
• Protecting sensitive information throughout the payment cycle, from capture to final decryption.

7. Audit and P2PE Compliance

• The auditing process to validate PCI P2PE compliance.
• Verifying implementation and security controls to ensure PCI DSS compliance.
• Case studies and practical scenarios to understand challenges in auditing P2PE systems.

8. Practical Workshop: Implementing a P2PE System

• Hands-on simulation of implementing and configuring a P2PE encryption system in a payment environment.
• Case studies of deploying P2PE solutions across different industries.
• Discussion of challenges faced and best practices for successful deployment.

9. Managing Security Incidents and Remediation

• Identifying and managing security incidents related to P2PE systems.
• Best practices for resolving security issues, such as data breaches or interception attacks.
• Preparing and responding to security incidents in a P2PE environment.

Training Duration

2 to 3 days (approximately 16 to 24 hours), including both theoretical sessions and practical exercises.

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge of payment security and cryptography.
• Previous experience in managing payment systems or data security solutions.
• Familiarity with basic PCI DSS requirements.

Target Audience

• Information security professionals, payment system managers, or individuals responsible for protecting sensitive data.
• System and network administrators involved in managing payment solutions or payment card data.
• Security consultants, PCI compliance officers, and internal auditors seeking practical skills in securing payment transactions with P2PE.
• Payment solution providers or payment terminal manufacturers looking to achieve P2PE certification.

Certification

Upon completion of the training, participants will receive a PCI Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) Competency Certificate, validating their ability to deploy and manage secure payment systems in compliance with PCI standards.
