[BESAdmin-Announcements] 2016 Summary of IBM BigFix Compliance PCI DSS Content Releases

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

As you continue to monitor and manage your endpoints to ensure a secure 
and PCI compliant environment for 2017, we’d like to wish you a very 
wonderful new year!

To reinforce our team’s commitment to help you meet your PCI compliance 
objectives, we would like to take you on a quick journey back to the IBM 
BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on releases and enhancements that IBM has 
delivered in 2016.

Up-to-date benchmark support
The PCI Security Standards Council published the new PCI DSS Requirements 
and Security Assessment Procedures v3.2 in 2016, and all the BigFix PCI 
checklists have been upgraded to support the new PCI DSS version.

New PCI DSS compliance reporting
The new PCI DSS Policy reporting, which is available in BigFix Compliance 
Analytics V1.9, identifies the level of compliance for each system within 
an entire organization based on a specific PCI DSS Requirement or PCI DSS 
Milestone. It provides a new PCI Reporting site to easily enable the 
creation of Requirement or Milestone based reports. For more information, 
see the official announcement at https://ibm.biz/Bdspcq.
