As the first general manager of the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), it’s Robert Russo’s job to get stakeholders on the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) bandwagon.

He also coordinates research and analysis regarding PCI DSS, solicits feedback from the vendors and merchants, and steers council member recruitment.
