Hello and welcome to our podcast series, Coffee with the Council. I'm Andrew Jamieson, VP, Distinguished Standards Architect for the PCI Security Standards Council. And I'll be your host today for an exciting panel discussion about the current state of cryptography.

I'm joined today by some cryptography experts, who I originally brought together at the 2025 North America Community Meeting in Fort Worth, Texas. You're going to hear a very good discussion today. I invite you to visit our Global Content Library on YouTube to view the full session if you're interested.

My guests for this episode are Richard Kisley, Chief Engineer IBM HSM, for IBM Corporation; Jillian Benedick, Cryptographer, Atalla, of Utimaco; Joachim Vance, Chief Security Architect, of Verifone; and finally, Steven Bowles, Regional Security Officer - North America, for Ingenico.
