Coalfire Report: App Control PCI DSS Attestation

In 2018, Coalfire Systems, Inc., a leading provider of IT advisory services for security, conducted assessment activities including technical testing, architectural assessment, and compliance validation of App Control for the PCI DSS v3.2 anti-malware requirement and found that the VMware Carbon Black App Control platform met this requirement as a direct control.

App Control provides coverage across eight of the 12 requirements of the PCI DSS and supports critical security goals, including:

• Stop all types and forms of malicious software.
  
• Protect and secure in-scope, integrated, and out-of-scope systems.
  
• Ensure that security policies and operational procedures are documented, in use, and known to all affected parties.
  
• Establish a process to immediately identify security vulnerabilities and assign a risk ranking.
  
• Control change, resulting in less data to analyze, which reduces administrative efforts.
  
• Receive real-time alerts so you can act immediately to protect all of your critical systems and data
