Overview

• What to expect - preparing for an audit• The GoGrid and Gazzang combined solution• Mapping into the 12 PCI sections• Examples/Ideas before your PCI Audit• Q&A

04/12/2023

5

PCI (Payment Card Industry)

• Created by major credit card issuers to – Protect personal information – Ensure security when transactions are processed

• Members of the payment card industry are– financial institutions, credit card companies and merchants– Required to comply with these standards

• Failure to meet compliance standards can result in– Fines from credit card companies and banks – Loss of the ability to process credit cards.

04/12/2023

6

PCI

• PCI (Payment Card Industry) – DSS (Data Security Standard)

• The PCI assessment process focuses solely on the security of cardholder data– Has a company effectively implemented information

security policies and processes?– Are there adequate security measures that comply with the

requirements to protect cardholder data?

04/12/2023

PCI Assessments

• Determine if you are employing payment industry best-practices

• Assessment result in – Recommendations & Remediation to

• Processes • Procedures • System configurations• Vulnerabilities

The “Fixes” needed to comply

• Gazzangs KSS “service” runs in the GoGrid Clouds– East and West Currently– Highly Available – uses F5

• Solution for– “Where do I store my key?”

• Multiple layers of security ensure that your key is protected and available when you need it.

PCI Security Problems Gazzang Helps Solve

• Unauthorized attempts to read data off the database files• Theft of the data files • Tampering of data• Protection of data on tapes and backups• Data at Rest - Protecting disks

– In case physical hardware is stolen or incorrectly disposed• Key Protection

– Automated, Zero Maintenance Key Management• Encrypts, Protects and Secures MySQL

The PCI “12”

1. Install and maintain a firewall2. Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for passwords. Develop configuration

standards.3. Protect stored data4. Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across public networks5. Use and regularly update anti-virus software6. Develop and maintain secure systems and applications7. Restrict access to data by business need-to-know8. Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access9. Restrict physical access to cardholder data10.Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data11.Systems should be tested to ensure security is maintained over time and

through changes12.Maintain an information security policy

1 Install and maintain a firewall

GoGridFortinet Firewall – 100,000 concurrent sessions– Unlimited IP addresses in a trusted interface– Choice of one VPN: SSL, Site-to-Site or IPSec– Ability to add additional VPNs at any timeCisco ASA 5510 dedicated hardware firewall

The Auditor will inspect• System/Firewall Configurations• Your Network Diagram

04/12/2023

13

2 Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for passwords. Develop configuration standards.

• GoGrid– Root Account for the cloud server is assigned strong

password• Gazzang

– MySQL Linux account has strong initial password– Only local mysql root is created– Strong Initial Password is enforced– Configuration for MySQL is Secured– Added Access File Protection

• The Auditor will– Interview staff, review documentation, view setup

04/12/2023

14

3 Protect stored data

GazzangAllows you to • Encrypt the entire database• Encrypt individual tables• Encrypt related files (log files) • Control who can decrypt the

data, beyond normal database and file system protections.

• Manage and secure keys

04/12/2023

15

3 Protect stored data

The Auditor• For requirement 3 the Auditor is looking at the entire data

lifecycle related to Card Data, Authentication Data, Key Management Protecting Data, Verification Codes and much more.

You• Will need to document explain and show that

process to the auditor.– For Req 3 Sections 4, 5, and 6 are often the trickiest

16

3 Protect stored data

Gazzang ezNcrypt helpsAccess control • Only authorized users running authorized

applications can decrypt cardholder data. • 3.4.1.a If disk encryption is used, verify

that logical access to encrypted file systems is implemented via a mechanism that is separate from the native OS mechanisms

Copyright © 2009 Anue Systems, Inc. -- CONFIDENTIAL

04/12/2023

17

3 Protect stored data

Gazzang ezNcrypt helpsSecure key management procedures• PCI 3.5 - Protect cryptographic keys used for

encryption of cardholder data against both disclosure and misuse:

• PCI 3.6 - Fully document and implement all key-management processes and procedures for cryptographic keys used for encryption of cardholder data

Copyright © 2009 Anue Systems, Inc. -- CONFIDENTIAL

3.6.1 - The auditor can verify that procedures are implemented that require automated generation of strong keys using ezNcrypt

04/12/2023

18

4 Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across public networks

• You– Verify the use of encryption (for example, SSL/TLS or IPSEC)

wherever cardholder data is transmitted or received over open, public networks

– Use MySQL SSL– Require SSL Connections in MySQL Access Control Settings

for any “remote” User• GoGrid

– Provides tools to implement SSL, Site-to-Site or IPSec

04/12/2023

19

4 Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across public networks

Gazzang • Cloud data storage in cloud systems sends data across

the network to storage• With ezNcrypt your critical data is encrypted before it

moves into the physical file system – – All data from ezNcrypt is encrypted across the network or

through other devices that could be monitored or tapped.

04/12/2023

20

5 Use and regularly update anti-virus software

The Auditor will• Verify that all OS types commonly affected by

malicious software have anti-virus software implemented.

You• Make sure AV is setup and deployed properlyGoGrid• Optional Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance

Firewall – Offers Anti-virus protection

6 Develop and maintain secure systems and applications

• Gazzang Helps By– Adding a new layer of security– As-Is the system is more secure– You will be downloading the latest MySQL Version– We will secure the configuration and protect the data and

logs• GoGrid

– The base GoGrid Cloud Server Images are clean– Free from malware or viruses– Free from undesirable “products” or “services”

04/12/2023

22

7 Restrict access to data by business need-to-know

• Gazzang– Helps meet this– By Restricting Access using encryption, key control, and

application only access controls– Linux Users can’t read the data – only MySQL

• GoGrid– Strong initial root password– Allows customers to manage local server credentials

themselves

04/12/2023

23

8 Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access

• You – Need to manage your users– Create a unique login for each user with access to the

server – Create unique accounts within MySQL and Linux– Limit access to only what the account requires

• The Auditor– Will want reports on each of the systems– Who, What Authentication methods– Will verify documentation on processes and procedures

04/12/2023

24

• 8.3 - Incorporate two-factor authentication for remote access (network-level access originating from outside the network) to the network by employees, administrators, and third parties.

• GoGrid– GoGrid provides hardware firewalls that allow for the

implementation of site-to-site, or IPSec VPNs• Two-factor - Requiring user/password and certificate

8 Assign a unique ID to each person with computer access

04/12/2023

25

9 Restrict physical access to cardholder data

• The 3 Gs – Guards, Guns, and Gates– Access to physical equipment

• GoGrid – Sets the security bar high in the area – GoGrid is a SAS70 Type II certified facility– Physical equipment is monitored by guards– Access is highly restricted by electronic IDs and other

physical means• Three forms of authentication are required to get access.

04/12/2023

26

10 Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data

• You– Will need to show auditor that you have the process to

collect, track, and monitor your environment• GoGrid

– Tracks and monitors up to the customer's environment• The Auditor

– Will inspect all of the above

04/12/2023

27

11 Systems should be tested to ensure security is maintained over time and through changes

• GoGrid– Images are reviewed and updated regularly– GoGrid allows for customers to maintain images of their

servers• Gazzang

– Starts from the GoGrid Image– Protects MySQLs files – increasing your security level

04/12/2023

28

12 Maintain an Information Security Policy

• You– Establish, publish, maintain, and disseminate a security

policy• Auditors

– Will examine this information and see that it addresses all of the PCI requirements
