[BESAdmin-Announcements] *NEW* SCM Content: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Checklists

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM Endpoint Manager for Security and Compliance 
Security Configuration Management (SCM)
IBM is pleased to announce the availability of the new security 
configuration management checklists for IBM Endpoint Manager for Security 
and Compliance. The new checklists that are based on the guidance provided 
by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) are:

PCI DSS Checklist for MS IIS, site version 2
PCI DSS Checklist for MS SQL 2008, site version 2
PCI DSS Checklist for MS SQL 2012, site version 3
PCI DSS Checklist for Windows 7, site version 2
PCI DSS Checklist for Windows 2008, site version 2
PCI DSS Checklist for Windows 2012, site version 3
*Site versions are provided for air-gap customers.

This content contains security configuration checks that evaluate the 
security settings of your endpoints according to the PCI DSS standards. As 
with most of the existing SCM content in the IBM Endpoint Manager for 
Security and Compliance library, most checks include a corresponding 
analysis property to report actual values.

In this release, the checks do not have a parameterized setting to enable 
customization for compliance evaluation nor contain actions for 
remediation. However, each check includes steps that you can follow to 
remediate noncompliant checks.

In addition to the new sites, the SCM Reporting site (version 84) was 
updated to be compatible with the new content. 

ACTIONS TO TAKE:
If you were involved in the Early Access Program for PCI DSS Security and 
Compliance, unsubscribe from the beta sites to avoid any conflicting 
issues with the production sites. If you do not unsubscribe from the beta 
sites, the content in the production sites will fail.
If you are entitled to the new content and you are using IBM Endpoint 
Manager version 9.0 and later, you can use the License Overview dashboard 
to enable and gather the sites. 
If you are currently licensed for the IBM Endpoint Manager for Security 
and Compliance, the BigFix SCMv3 solution module, the BigFix SCVM solution 
pack, or the BigFix SLM+SCVM solution bundle, contact your IBM sales 
representative on how to get access to the new content.


We hope you find this latest release of SCM content useful. Thank you!
