From 14 to 16 October 2025, Amsterdam will become the meeting place for the European payment security community. At this year's PCI SSC Europe Community Meeting, usd AG will be present with a six-member team and actively support the event as an official sponsor. This visible commitment reflects our dedication to secure payment processes and fosters direct, professional exchange within the industry.
Sharing knowledge, identifying threats, developing solutions
The PCI Community Meeting is a conference for everyone who actively shapes payment security. Experts meet here to discuss emerging threats, proven best practices, and technical innovations. usd AG is not only sponsoring again, but also contributing content: our colleague Christopher Kristes will speak with Kish Khan from BP Europa SE about the security of EV charging stations. Their talk, “Charging Ahead: Securing EV Chargers Against Cyber Threats”, shows how publicly accessible charging points can become targets for cyberattacks. They explain specific vulnerabilities, present real attack scenarios, and give recommendations for technical and organizational protective measures.
Personal insights: expectations and perspectives
Before their departure, we invited Christopher Kristes and Benedikt Krümmel for a short interview. In the interview, they share their expectations, their personal highlights, and the significance of the PCI Community Meeting for their work.

Commitment becomes contribution
Given the important role of the PCI Community Meeting as a central platform for international exchange within the payment security community, usd AG is once again supporting the PCI SSC Europe Community Meeting as a sponsor this year. The aim is not only to share knowledge, but also to take on board new perspectives from the community and incorporate them into our own work.
