In 2008, Bob’s Stores faced the challenge of meeting new PCI compliance standards, particularly requirement 11 of the PCI DSS, which mandated regular tests of security systems and processes through internal and external scans. The IT department, led by Nick Sorgio, Assistant Vice President and technology manager, needed a vulnerability management system to meet these standards and protect customer data. The pressure to quickly comply with these new requirements was significant, and Bob’s Stores had no existing vulnerability management system in place. This made finding a suitable tool a top business priority. Bob’s Stores conducted a comprehensive assessment of various vulnerability management vendors, ultimately selecting Rapid7 due to its ability to identify vulnerabilities across networks, operating systems, databases, web applications, and a wide range of system platforms. Rapid7 Nexpose provided the necessary vulnerability assessment scanning and monitoring capabilities to meet PCI data security standards and offered sound vulnerability management practices as part of a comprehensive security program.
