According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, active network connections are tracked so that invalid response traffic can be identified. This is one of the requirements for preventing replay attacks and ensuring secure communication.

 One of the best practices for hardening a firewall is to disable any firewall functions that are not needed in production, such as unused services, ports, protocols, or features. This reduces the attack surface and minimizes the potential for exploitation. According to the PCI Card Production Logical Security Requirements, section 3.2.1, “The firewall must be configured to deny all traffic by default and allow only traffic that is explicitly required for the card production environment.” Furthermore, section 3.2.2 states, “The firewall must be configured to block all unnecessary services, ports, protocols, and IP addresses.” References: PCI Card Production Logical Security Requirements, Card Production Security Assessor - Logical - Credly

PCI DSS Requirement 12.10.1 requires entities to implement an incident response plan that includes roles, responsibilities, and communication and contact strategies for a data security incident, including notification of relevant payment brands1. This is important because each payment card brand has its own policies and procedures for dealing with a security breach, and failing to follow them or meet reporting deadlines could result in fines or loss of authority to process payment card transactions2. Therefore, an incident response plan must include procedures for notifying PCI SSC of the security incident, as well as any other entities that may require notification, whether by contract or law1. References:
