[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: New Support for CentOS 6 published 2016-11-17

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

Product:
IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on

Title:
PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6 is updated to support both RHEL 6 and CentOS 
6

Category:
Updated PCI DSS checklist

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

Details:
CentOS 6 is now supported in the PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6. 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 RHEL 6.
The available checks evaluate the security settings of your CentOS 6 
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.

Published Site:
PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6, version 6

NOTE: If this site is not enabled, it is displayed in the License Overview 
dashboard as PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6, CentOS 6. Otherwise, it is 
listed as PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL 6, but supports both RHEL 6 and 
CentOS 6.

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

Actions to Take:
If you have already enabled the updated site, gather the site changes and 
extend the site’s computer subscription to CentOS systems.
If you have not enabled the updated site, enable it from the License 
Overview dashboard. Note that it is listed as PCI DSS Checklist for RHEL, 
CentOS 6 in the dashboard.
