- 3. Setting the stage… Pre-audit checklist & more 3
- 4. QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF… SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. Pre-audit checklist: Where do your PCI-relevant assets live, how are they’re configured, and how are they segmented from the rest of your network? Who accesses these resources (and the other W’s… when, where, what can they do, why and how)? What are the vulnerabilities that are in your PCI-defined network – app, etc? What constitutes your network baseline? What is considered “normal/acceptable”? Ask your team… What do we NEVER want to happen in our PCI environment? How do we capture those events when they do happen? 4

- 16. LET’S HEAR FROM YOU! ALIENVAULT POLL QUESTION What is your biggest pain point when it comes to PCI compliance? • Uncertainty about what’s on my network • Vulnerability assessment and remediation • Concerns about threat detection • Compliance reporting • None of the above – I’m a PCI Ninja!

- 18. WHAT’S COMING IN PCI DSS V3*? Increased clarity Intention and application Scoping and reporting Eliminate redundancy, consolidate documentation Stronger focus on “greater risk areas” in the threat environment Consistency among assessors Key Goals *https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/documents.php Key Themes Education and Awareness Increased flexibility Security as a shared responsibility Nov 7 2013 • PCI DSS v3 is published Jan 1 2014 • PCI DSS v3 becomes effective Dec 31 2014 • PCI DSS v2 expires Key Dates
- 19. KEY TAKE-AWAYS Use the “force” of compliance to bolster your security monitoring / incident response program. PCI Compliance is more than just reporting. Automate and consolidate as much as possible. And… throw away that cover page for your TPS reports. ….But keep the red stapler. 19

Editor's Notes
- We all know… Security doesn’t equal compliance and compliance doesn’t equal security…But… you can usecompliance to getyour security projects funded.Use the “force” of compliance to improve your security.Remember… compliance is about more than reporting!

- Create “PCI in scope” host group – define the report so it’s focused on that group
- The updated versions of PCI DSS and PA-DSS will: Provide stronger focus on some of the greater risk areas in the threat environment Provide increased clarity on PCI DSS & PA-DSS requirements Build greater understanding on the intent of the requirements and how to apply them Improve flexibility for all entities implementing, assessing, and building to the Standards Drive more consistency among assessors Help manage evolving risks / threats Align with changes in industry best practices Clarify scoping and reporting Eliminate redundant sub-requirements and consolidate documentation While not stated in the August document, it’s anticipated that the new standard will address issues of what falls within the scope of the standard, as well as network segmentation, and defense fortification to ward off specific threats that have been identified since the 2010 release. In addition, the new requirements are likely to address card data handling in mobile, cloud and e-commerce environments in the wake of previous guidance issued by the council.
- Use the “force” of compliance to bolster your security monitoring / incident response program.PCI Compliance is more than just reporting – it’s about basic security hygiene – don’t focus JUST on reporting, although that is importantAutomate and consolidate as much as possible – reduces cost, complexity, and accelerates remediation.If mgmt wants to do this w/home grown or manual processes or tools (can’t get budget for more software), try open source, specifically OSSIM.
