[BESAdmin-Announcements] SCM Content UPDATE: PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 5 supports remediation and other enhancements

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on
Security Configuration Management (SCM)

The IBM BigFix Compliance team has updated the content for the Payment 
Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) checklist for RHEL 5 to 
support remediation and provide other enhancements.

Updated Sites:
PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 5, version 3

*The site version is provided for air-gap customers.

Changelist:
Remediation is supported for the PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 5 site.
The measured values for each RHEL 5 check, which can be viewed in the 
BigFix console, analyses, and SCA reports are formatted for enhanced 
readability. The results now clearly present the desired system 
configuration setting, as specified by a check, against the actual setting 
on the endpoint.
The check named ?Verify that Strong Password Creation Policy is set using 
appropriate pam module? (pcidss-8.2.3_a.5.9), which verifies password 
libraries, is added into the RHEL 5 checklist.
The check named ?Verify that log files for syslog exists with correct 
permissions? (pcidss-7.2.2.3.9) is a duplicate of another check and is 
removed from the checklist.
 
Actions to Take:
If you use custom sites, update your custom sites accordingly to use the 
latest content. You can synchronize your content by using the Synchronize 
Custom Checks wizard. For more information, see https://ibm.biz/Bd4LBt.
If you have not subscribed to the site above, you can use the License 
Overview dashboard to enable and gather the sites. Note that you must be 
entitled to the new content and you are using IBM BigFix version 9.0 and 
later.
If you were involved in the Early Access Program for IBM BigFix Compliance 
PCI Add-on, 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.

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