Details:
The IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on team is pleased to announce the 
availability of the new checklist for IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: 
PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 6.
This new checklist is based on the guidance provided by the Payment Card 
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v3.2 and contains security 
configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your AIX 6.1 
endpoints according to PCI DSS. As with most of the existing PCI DSS 
contents in the IBM BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on library, the checks 
contained in the checklist 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.
