I am the IT manager for a small grocery store chain. With the recent news of the Target data breach I wanted to know what I can do to make sure this doesn't happen to us. The point of sale program is secure I just want to make sure I am doing my job on the back end. I run Webroot protection on all POS machines which are just custom build Windows machines. I have some Win 7 Machines but most are still XP (I cannot upgrade to 7 because of old hardware not supporting it) I am currently working on the upgrading to 7 and it is in the process but how urgent is it?
No one can access anything outside of the point of sale program except my IT team but I just want to make sure that I am doing everything I can to protect our company.
So I guess my overall question is: What more do I need to do to keep us protected?
Thanks in advance!
