Red Hat White Paper Sample

PCI DSS requirements not only focus on controls targeted at networks, systems and applications, but address issues of policy, process and operations. Having reliable infrastructure that is easy and cost-effective to maintain is key to supporting the operational maturity required to maintain compliance, reduce risk of exposure, and protect critical information.

While enterprises are often able to achieve compliance during an audit, they often have difficulty maintaining compliance on an ongoing basis. A technology platform that enables IT organizations to deploy and configure new systems reliably, manage systems and users efficiently, enforce policy, and meet audit and logging requirements will provide continuous return and numerous ongoing benefits. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and additional Red Hat solutions provide enterprises with the necessary platforms, mechanisms, and applications to manage environments in accordance with PCI DSS compliance requirements. Red Hat Enterprise Linux has built-in features and functions that allow a merchant or vendor to develop a robust implementation for managing all aspects of security necessary to achieve and maintain compliance on an ongoing basis.
