In today's episode, I'm excited to announce that the Council is launching a new Regional Engagement Board for India and South Asia. Regional Engagement Boards serve as advisors to PCI SSC on payment data security issues in specific geographies and markets. This will be the Council's second REB, as it's commonly referred to, after launching in Brazil in 2018. Joining me to discuss what this all means and how you can participate is the Council's own Nitin Bhatnagar, Regional Director of India, South Asia, and the Middle East.
As many of our listeners are aware, we are quickly approaching the deadline to adopt the future-dated requirements of PCI DSS version 4.0.1 on March 31st, 2025. Over the course of the last year, the Council has received feedback that more guidance was needed to properly implement some of the e-commerce security requirements in the standard, particularly Requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1. As such, the Council has released several pieces of guidance this year, including updates to Self-Assessment Questionnaire A, an FAQ related to SAQ A eligibility criteria, and of course, the highly anticipated guidance developed by our E-commerce Guidance Task Force. Joining me today to walk through all this new guidance is Lauren Holloway, Director of Data Security Standards at PCI SSC.
It is time once again to elect the Council's next Board of Advisors for the 2025 - 2027 term. Every two years, the Council invites its Principal and Associate Participating Organizations, as well as Affiliate Members to nominate and elect those companies who will serve as strategic leaders for the organization. Joining me today to talk all about what's new in this year's election process is PCI SSC's Head of Engagement, Diana Greenhaw.
Recently, PCI SSC published a new information supplement called PCI DSS Scoping and Segmentation Guidance for Modern Network Architectures. This document was produced by the 2023 Special Interest Group, also called a SIG, who spent a year collaborating on this project, which was led by the Council's own Kandyce Young, Manager of Data Security Standards. I am joined by Kandyce today to help walk us through what made this particular Special Interest Group and topic so special.

Today I'm joined by my co-host for the day, Director of Communications, Simon Kleine, at EMVCo. And we're having a conversation with Arman Aygen, Director of Technology at EMVCo, and PCI Security Standard Council's VP of Solution Standards, Andrew Jamieson. Today, we're going to be talking about the valuable partnership and collaboration between EMVCo and PCI SSC. We're going to take a deeper dive into mobile payments, including Tap to Mobile, and also PCI SSC's MPoC standard. Let's kick off by taking a moment to explain the relationship between our two organizations, EMVCo and PCI SSC.
India's digital payment market is expected to grow by $10 trillion by 2026. In a span of just six years, India, primarily a cash-based economy, now leads the world in real time digital payments, accounting for almost 40% of all such transactions. The mass adoption of UPI and cardless payments during the COVID-19 pandemic has extended far beyond the urban, to even rural India, an effect that left the experts in amazement.
This rapid expansion of the digital payments systems is happening at a time when cybersecurity threats to payment systems are increasing globally. With organized criminal syndicates committing cybercrimes, India is not immune from these threats. The threat landscape in cybersecurity is constantly evolving and, with the rise of new technologies, it becomes even more challenging for organizations to secure their assets.
We are already witnessing greater involvement from India and South Asia with having stakeholders coming forward and joining us as an Associate Participating Organization (APO). And, more importantly, on our 2023-2025 Board of Advisors, we have three leading organizations from this region, which is NPCI, HDFC Bank and NEPS, which is Nepal Electronic Payment Systems, joining the global Board of Advisors that shows the commitment from the region to improve the payment security, just not regionally, but globally.
Today I would like to welcome two prominent leaders from the payment industry. And they are none other than Ms. Anuprita Daga, CISO, YES BANK and Mr. A V S Prabhakar, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer from Zeta.
Both YES BANK and Zeta are Associate Participating Organizations of PCI SSC. We'll be talking about their experience as Associate Participating Organizations as well.
Today we'll meet one of the Council's newest employees, our Regional Vice President of North America, Wenlock Free. Wen is based in the USA and spent 20 years in a senior role at Security Metrics, where he led strategic partnerships and business development activity.
Today, I am so excited to bring you a sneak peek interview with PCI SSC's Community Meeting Keynote Speaker, Jenny Radcliffe.
