Configure Prohibited Traffic list

The PCI data security standards requires that systems in a cardholder data environment only include services necessary on the system. Using the Prohibited Traffic list, PCI compliance solutions administrators can define a list of prohibited services that they do not expect to see on systems within the environment.

To view the Prohibited Traffic list, do the following:

1. Select Configure > Content > Content Management.
2. Click the Prohibited Traffic lookup. The Prohibited Traffic lookup file (prohibited_traffic.csv) appears in the lookup editor.
