Endpoint Product Versions

This report provides a summary and detail view of all PCI assets and the most current product versions installed. Use this report to identify any assets that are not using the current antimalware product versions and take appropriate measures to ensure these systems are updated.

PCI DSS requires that assets within the cardholder data environment have antimalware technology installed and working to protect against viruses, worms, trojans, and other malware-based threats. The best antimalware software has limited effectiveness if it does not have the current antivirus product versions.

Review this report at least once per day, or more frequently if you are collecting data from antimalware solutions more frequently.

Relevant data sources

3. Tag the activity data with endpoint, application, and version.

Report description

The data in the Endpoint Product Versions report is populated by malware_product_version_tracker lookup. This lookup is created by the Endpoint - Malware Product Version Tracker - Lookup Gen saved search.

This search runs on an offset 15 minute cycle and looks at 15 minutes of data.

Schedule	10,30,50 * * * *	Runs on a 15 minute offset window.
Report window	-25m@m to -5m@m	Looks at 15 minutes of data.

Note: The report window stops at 5 minutes ago because some data sources may not have provided complete data in a more recent time frame.
