PCI DSS Compliance in the UNIX/Linux Datacenter

Overview

This paper discusses how creating a secure access control infrastructure in heterogeneous UNIX/Linux environments supports PCI DSS compliance. Symark Software's PowerBroker controls access to systems and cardholder data, creates comprehensive logs and audit trails, and has an Entitlement Report that shows auditors that you have created a baseline to assess accountability. Various tables show how PowerBroker's functionality maps to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
