The PCI in the Cloud Paradox

September 15th, 2009 by Aviram, Filed under: Web, Commentary

What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? We might all have a chance to find out.

In the last baysec I learned that handling credit card transactions in the cloud automatically makes you non-compliant with PCI. Assuming:

1. PCI is here to stay (”an immovable object”)

and

2. ‘Everything’ will move to the cloud (”an irresistible force”)

We reach a paradox.

Did the gods of security create a stone they cannot lift?
