Summary

The text outlines a comprehensive guide on implementing a Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) compliance dashboard using the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) and OSSEC Wazuh, an open-source intrusion detection system. It highlights the importance of log management in meeting PCI-DSS requirements by tracking and monitoring access to network resources and cardholder data, which is essential for preventing and detecting data breaches. The guide details the installation of OSSEC Wazuh on Ubuntu servers, the integration with the ELK Stack, and the use of Amazon S3 for log syncing and shipping to Logz.io, a cloud-based log management platform. It also describes the creation of a PCI Compliance Dashboard in Kibana to visualize compliance data and trends, providing pre-made visualizations and dashboards for specific data types. Additionally, the text discusses alternative methods for integrating Wazuh with the ELK Stack using Docker and Logstash, emphasizing the role of these tools in enhancing security through monitoring, intrusion detection, and alerting capabilities.
