IBM reports the average cost of a data breach is $3.8 million. When data breaches occur, most of the affected organizations are found to be noncompliant with one or more PCI standards.
Don't let this be you!
The PCI Security Standards include 12 requirements for PCI compliance.
This checklist gives a definition and brief explanation of each of the 12 requirements, as well as associated sub-requirements. With this checklist in hand, you will be able to better assess your organization's compliance on an ongoing basis.
PCI DSS and file integrity monitoring fit together like a hand in a glove. Specifically, sections 10.5.5 and 11.5 require change detection mechanism to be put in place:
Security professionals know unexpected changes can mean that something bad is happening to your system. With new forms of malware continuously being unleashed, much of it being zero-day, it is critical that you have technology in place to detect such threats.
As these threats are unsignatured, many will find their way through perimeter defenses and attempt to take up residence in your infrastructure. Each day seems to bring news of the latest breach of payment card data. Proactively being alerted to changes can mean the difference between eliminating a threat quickly, or losing your customer’s personal information.
Deploy file integrity monitoring software to alert personnel to unauthorized changes of critical system files, configurations files, or content files; and configure the software to perform critical file comparisons at least weekly.
"Use file integrity monitoring or change-detection software on logs to ensure that existing log data cannot be altered without generating alerts …"
