2.1.1 Changing vendor-supplied defaults for wireless environments
When Enabled:
A device fails requirement 2.1.1 if the passphrases, SSIDs, or other security-related
settings are on a list of forbidden values that AWMS establishes and tracks. The list includes common
vendor default passwords. The user can input new values to achieve compliance.
When Disabled: When this PCI requirement is disa
bled in AWMS, then network devices are not
checked for forbidden information and PCI Compliance is not established.
4.1.1 Using strong encryption in wireless networks
When Enabled:
PCI Requirement 4 establishes the standard by which payment cardholder data is
encrypted prior to transmission across open public networks. PCI disallows WEP encryption as an
approved encryption method after June 20, 2010. A device fails requirement 4.1.1 if the desired or actual
configuration reflect that WEP is enabled on the network, or if associated users can connect with WEP.
When Disabled: When this PCI mo
nitoring function is disabled in AWMS, then AWMS cannot establish
a pass or fail status with regard to PCI encryption requirements on the network.
11.4 Using intrusion-detection or intrusion-prevention systems to monitor all traffic
When Enabled:
AWMS reports pass or fail status when monitoring devices capable of reporting IDS
events. Recent IDS events are summarized in the PCI Compliance report or the IDS Report.
When Disabled: When this fu
nction is disabled, then AWMS does not monitor the presence of PCI-
compliant intrusion detection or prevention systems, nor can it report Pass or Fail status with regard to
IDS events.
