Yep, your right. The auditors nowadays even ask for an AV on a *n?x OS (what a shame) !!! ________________________________ From: Digital X <digitalx00 () gmail com> To: Tracy Reed <treed () ultraviolet org>; Nick FitzGerald <nick () virus-l demon co uk> Cc: Full-disclosure <full-disclosure () lists grok org uk> Sent: Mon, April 26, 2010 3:48:05 PM Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] Compliance Is Wasted Money, Study Finds
PCI only requires antivirus for systems commonly affected by viruses. This means Windows. PCI security council has said that UN*X OSs etc. are not required to have antivirus. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
Just an FYI...if your nix devices are in scope, my last audit (4 weeks ago) directed me to install A/V plus a rootkit finder on linux devices in scope. Whitelisting is an alternative, but seems more a headache then A/V. Hope this helps someone somewhere. James _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
