  • Support Acumera’s Virtual Private Networking (VPN) products (and those which rely on VPNs, such as Web Filter and PCI Internal Scans) by conducting basic troubleshooting and escalating as necessary
  • Support the routine & timely updating of Acumera supported devices by assisting with the notification and deployment of updated apps, system packages, and firmware for Merchant Gateways, Netgear switches, and other Acumera supported hardware
  • Support Acumera’s PCI Compliance goals by participating in the daily log review process for customer account activity
