QSA_New_V4 Exam Dumps : Qualified Security Assessor V4 Exam

According toRequirement 1.2.1of PCI DSS v4.0.1, network security controls (NSCs), such as firewalls and segmentation controls, are used torestrict and control trafficbetween trusted and untrusted networks. This includes logical or physical network segmentation.

Option A:Incorrect. Anti-malware is addressed in Requirement 5.

Option B:Correct. NSCs control and restrict inbound and outbound traffic between logical and physical network segments.

Option C:Incorrect. Vulnerability management is under Requirement 6.

Option D:Incorrect. PAN encryption is covered in Requirement 3.5.

 PCI PIN Transaction Security (PTS) Standard:

The PCI PTS standard focuses on securing Point-of-Interaction (POI) devices, such as payment terminals, that process payment card transactions and protect account data during capture​​.

 Clarifications on Covered Areas:

This standard includes specifications for physical and logical security controls to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive cardholder data on POI devices.

 Invalid Options:

B:Secure coding practices are addressed by PCI PA-DSS (Payment Application Data Security Standard).

C:Cryptographic algorithm development is not specific to PCI PTS.

D:End-to-end encryption solutions are not covered under PCI PTS.

 Testing with Live PANs

PCI DSS Requirement 6.4.3 requires that live PANs (Primary Account Numbers) only be used in secure and controlled environments within the CDE.

Pre-production environments located within the CDE must adhere to all PCI DSS requirements for security and monitoring​​.

 Prohibited Uses

Testing with live PANs in environments outside the CDE violates PCI DSS. Only simulated data should be used in less secure testing environments.

 Incorrect Options

Option A: Production environments are for real transactions, not testing.

Option B: Test environments outside the CDE are insecure for live PANs.

Option D: The QSA environment is irrelevant to the organization’s CDE testing controls.
