Making EDR Work for PCI

This article examines how modern EDR/ATP products can consolidate firewall, IDS/IPS, anti-malware, logging, and FIM functions and the challenges of meeting PCI-DSS (v3.2.1 and upcoming v4) controls—particularly requirement 11.5 for file integrity monitoring. It recommends practical mitigations such as leveraging SIEM correlation, SOC processes, and documented compensating controls to demonstrate compliance where native EDR alerting/configuration is insufficient.
