IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: New Support for AIX 7.2 published 2017-08-24

Product:
IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on

Title:
PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7 site updated to support AIX 7.2

Category:
Updated PCI DSS checklist

Published Benchmark:
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard v3.2

Details:

  • AIX 7.2 is now supported in the PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7 site. This additional support is based on the guidance provided by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v3.2 and on existing checks that are included in the PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7.
  • The available checks evaluate the security settings of your AIX 7 endpoints according to the PCI DSS standard.
  • Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to enable customization for compliance evaluation and remediation actions to efficiently remediate a non-compliance issue with a single action. Note that parameterization requires the creation of a custom site.
  • Content improvement (detect and remediation) for handling white characters in configuration files.
  • Several other updates are made to the PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7 site to improve accuracy.
  • The Fixlet “Verify that users with UIDs lower than the defined value are present in the /etc/ftpusers file” (pcidss-7.2.2_4.3) was fixed to handle the customized setting.

Published Site:
PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7, version 5.
*The site version is provided for air-gap customers.
