Help Net Security, Friday, February 20th, 2026
In this Help Net Security interview, Paul Suarez, VP and CISO at Casey's, explains how his team manages patching and upgrades for fuel payment systems with long hardware lifecycles. He also discusses risks tied to QR code payments and outlines why loyalty abuse can be hard to spot. Suarez shares how Casey's monitors payment systems across stores, corporate networks, and third-party processors.
How do you manage patching and modernization for fuel-related payment infrastructure that may have longer hardware lifecycles than typical retail technology?
We don't assume that fuel payment infrastructure should be managed differently simply because it may have longer hardware lifecycles. Our approach to patching and modernizing fuel-related payment systems mirrors the discipline we apply across our retail technology environment.
