Florian Yanez, manager of technical systems for Helzberg Diamonds, is among those attending RSA Conference 2011. CSO recently caught up with him for a discussion on his company's efforts to adopt tokens as a way to address PCI DSS' rules on stored customer data.
CSO: Let's start with a general picture of your organization's main security priorities.Yanez: Like everyone else, our biggest concern is protecting customer information and meeting the PCI DSS requirement -- particularly the parts about protecting stored data such as credit card and telephone numbers.

CSO: What are some of the basics in terms of the technology you've deployed to address that?Yanez: We have a security event management system in place to capture all the logs in our data center. We get alerts if anything strange shows up. We also have a vulnerability management system in the works so we can scan for all the security patches we need on a regularly basis. We want to be as up to date on patching as possible.
