Compliance and Security Information Management for PCI DSS Requirement 10 and Beyond

RSA Solution Brief Compliance and Security Information Management for PCI DSS Requirement 10 and Beyond Through Requirement 10, PCI DSS specifically requires that merchants, banks and payment processors track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data. The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) imposes a broad range of reporting requirements, which become of paramount importance during the annual PCI DSS audit. As businesses step back and recognize the reporting and monitoring implications of the PCI DSS, the following question arises: While compliance is critical, how can my organization become more proactive than reactive, and how can we ensure that time and resource investments will extend beyond our PCI DSS initiative? Moving Beyond Compliance with RSA envision Technology Violations of policy and security happen without warning. Regardless of whether these are innocent mistakes or illegal attempts at accessing private information, you need immediate visibility into such behaviors in order to respond. Such visibility and responsiveness is critical to achieving PCI DSS compliance, and from a broader perspective, it is necessary to ensure all of your organization s private business, customer and partner information is secure. RSA envision transforms raw, seemingly unrelated security and network events into meaningful business intelligence. By first establishing baseline levels of activity for the entire network environment, RSA envision is able to help determine abnormal behaviors and issue alerts when such activities occur. By capturing all the data from security, network and enterprise applications to mainframe, desktop and storage devices RSA envision ensures that you have complete, unfiltered visibility.

RSA envision enables customers to ease the audit process by establishing a centralized point for tracking and monitoring access to cardholder data throughout a PCI environment. Specific capabilities RSA envision delivers that address the PCI DSS standard include:

PCI DSS Requirement 10 and RSA envision Requirement 10.1 Establish a process for linking all access to system components (especially access done with administrative privileges such as root) to each individual user. Requirement 10.2 Implement automated audit trails for all system components to reconstruct the following events RSA envision enables customers to track administrative user activity and provides oversight to help verify a user is acting in accordance with established policy. Additionally, the system may send an alert to a user s supervisor if behaviors violate policy. RSA envision offers out-of-the-box reporting that displays all successful administrative privilege escalations on monitored UNIX and Linux systems. Report: PCI Administrative Privilege Escalation UNIX/Linux RSA envision appliance helps companies to implement automated audit trails that detail user access to cardholder data, actions taken by users with root/administrative privileges, access to audit trails, invalid logical access attempts, use of identification/authentication mechanisms, audit log initialization and creation/deletion of system-level objects. Requirement 10.2.1 All individual user accesses to cardholder data RSA envision delivers built-in reporting capabilities that display all successful file access attempts to file objects in the Cardholder Data device group; this device group is a subset of the PCI device group, and should contain only the servers used in the storing of cardholder data. Report: PCI: Individual User Accesses to Cardholder Data Windows Requirement 10.2.2 All actions taken by any individual with root or administrative privileges RSA envision enables customers to report on all actions taken by users logged in as root. In addition, organizations may customize this report to include any additional usernames that have been granted full user monitoring administrative privileges in your environment.

PCI DSS Requirement 10 and RSA envision continued Requirement 10.3 Record at least the following audit trail entries for all system components for each event RSA envision will record the events as reported by associated devices. In addition, RSA envision saves event metadata, which may be analyzed and revised to determine type of event. Requirement 10.3.1 User identification RSA envision enables organizations to record user identification information for each event associated with the PCI device group. Requirement 10.3.2 Type of event RSA envision enables organizations to identify event-type information for each event associated with the PCI device group. If the device does not report event type, RSA envision still supports reporting by saving metadata that may be analyzed and revised to determine type of event. Requirement 10.3.3 Date and time RSA envision enables organizations to record date and time information for each event associated with the PCI device group. Requirement 10.3.4 Success or failure indication RSA envision enables organizations to record success/failure indication information for each event associated with the PCI device group. Requirement 10.3.5 Origination of event RSA envision enables organizations to record event origination information for each event associated with the PCI device group. Requirement 10.3.6 Identity or name of affected data, system component, or resource RSA envision enables organizations to record the name or other identity of affected systems, data, components or other PCI resource. Requirement 10.5 Secure audit trails so they cannot be altered RSA envision delivers mirrored, unfiltered data to its Internet Protocol Database, which provides the ability to retain data in its original format. Further, write once, read many capabilities help ensure that the mirrored copy remains intact, even if the original data is compromised. RSA envision-captured event logs are stored on a hardened operating system in a compressed form and protected via lightweight encryption. Requirement 10.5.1 Limit viewing of audit trails to those with a job-related need RSA envision enables organizations to assign privileges so only authorized users may access and view the audit trail. Requirement 10.5.2 Protect audit trail files from unauthorized modifications RSA envision logs cannot be altered through the graphical user interface (GUI); changes may only occur via administrative access to the RSA envision appliance itself. In addition, RSA envision data access and archival APIs are read only, so logs may not be altered in the system. Requirement 10.5.3 Promptly back-up audit trail files to a centralized log server or media that is difficult to alter RSA envision enables back-ups of the audit trail to be scheduled as often as needed to a centralized log server or other media e.g., every 10 minutes or every hour, depending on the needs of the customer. RSA envision offers an LS Maintenance API that allows users to schedule back-ups on a device or device group (e.g., PCI device group). Customer would have the ability, for example, to schedule PCI back-ups every 10 minutes, while devices outside the scope of PCI might be backed-up daily. 4 RSA Solution Brief

PCI DSS Requirement 10 and RSA envision continued Requirement 10.5.5 Use file integrity monitoring and change detection software on logs to ensure that existing log data cannot be changed without generating alerts (although new data being added should not cause an alert) RSA envision technology is capable of creating alerts which ensure supervisors and others are aware if any changes to the logs take place. In addition, the appliance-based RSA envision technology is based on a hardened operating system which delivers higher degrees of security. Requirement 10.6 Review logs for all system components at least daily. Log reviews must include those servers that perform security functions like intrusion detection system (IDS) and authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol (AAA) servers (for example, RADIUS). The RSA envision platform s comprehensive correlation, analysis and alerting capabilities make it easy to consolidate and review daily logs from cardholder systems, including logs from all critical intrusion detection, authentication, authorization, and accounting protocol servers. Requirement 10.7 Retain audit trail history for at least one year, with a minimum of three months online availability RSA envision NAS3500 offers pre-configured, pre-tested and pre-racked EMC Celerra under the covers, enabling customers to support between 3.5 TB and 7 TB of storage particularly relevant to the retention on log data online. In addition, because RSA envision is engineered to have out-of-the-box integration with networked storage platforms such as EMC Symmetric, CLARiiON, EMC Centera and EMC Celerra, customers have the ability to store their critical information to meet compliance requirements. EMC Celerra Network Attached Storage systems provide industry-leading price/performance with no-compromise availability. No-compromise availability means applications continue running at the same performance and service levels even in the event of a failure. Celerra accomplishes this via an active-passive N+1 clustering architecture and by eliminating any single point of failure from the network to the disk drive. EMC Celerra Network Attached Storage systems implements a capability called File Level Retention that provides disk-based WORM protection for files. This Celerra capability protects files and directories from deletion, alteration, renaming or overwriting during a designated retention period. Celerra File Level Retention can provide organizations with the ability to protect the integrity of online audit logs for a specific retention period (e.g., 3 months). RSA Solution Brief 5
