That statement just doesn't make sense, and even verges on being factually incorrect. The current PCI DSS document, version 1.2.1, _explicitly_ mentions VPN as an approved technology: 2.3 Encrypt all non-console administrative access. Use technologies such as SSH, VPN, or SSL/TLS for webbased management and other non-console administrative access. 8.3 Incorporate two-factor authentication for remote access (network-level access originating from outside the network) to the network by employees, administrators, and third parties. Use technologies such as remote authentication and dial-in service (RADIUS); terminal access controller access control system (TACACS) with tokens; or VPN (based on SSL/TLS or IPSEC) with individual certificates. -- Eric Chevalier E-mail: et...@tulsagrammer.com Web: www.tulsagrammer.com Is that call really worth your child's life?
