With my understanding of PCI, I would say yes, absolutely.

Curious....

If VISA info is emailed to a company, and that company has a VISA card
machine that they enter the data into and then it dials up VISA to make
the transaction. Will that company need to comply with PCI as there is
VISA info in their email system?

Thanks for a lot of good feedback on PCI compliance.

Just thought you might like to know I have just saved our company a
fortune by going with a product from http://www.securenvoy.com/

It does what it says on the packet and works with mobile phones - simple
to configure and use.

And they don't pay me for this either....

I've heard good things about Aladdin, although I have no direct
experience with them.  I know that doesn't tell you a whole lot.  We
use RSA SecurID tokens and I will say that it is a solid product,
we've had almost no problems with them.  The only downside is that the

Auth Manager server software is not all that impressive...looks like
it hasn't been re-written since NT days and it is missing some
features that in my opinion should be there by now.  Also, they don't
support Vista yet or at least they didn't the last time I talked to
them which was maybe around October.  HTH.

Hello all, need some opinions on PCI compliance.

The company I work for is trying to become PCI compliant by June 30...
we have a long way to go.

According to requirement 8.3 of the PCI DSS, two-factor authentication

is required for remote access.
I've been evaluating Aladdin's eToken product and have been impressed,

especially considering the cost.
My question is whether anyone has had experience with this product in
general or as it relates to PCI compliance.

The execs are concerned because they seem to be a smaller company
(perhaps not as reputable), but mostly because RSA is the only
two-factor auth solution they've heard of, so are hesitant to adopt an

alternative solution.

Thoughts, comments or concerns on this approach to complying with that

section of the PCI DSS would be appreciated.

Josh
