IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on
Security Configuration Management (SCM)
IBM is pleased to announce the availability of the new security configuration management checklists for IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on. The new checklist that is based on the guidance provided by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is called PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7.
This content contains security configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your AIX 7.1 endpoints according to the PCI DSS standard. As with most of the existing SCM content in the IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on library, checks include a corresponding analysis property to report actual values, as well as steps for manual remediation in the check description.
Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization requires the creation of a custom site.
