Antivirus for CentOS? (yuck!)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi All,

Yes, I know, it's really really embarrassing to have to ask but I'm
being pushed to the wall with PCI DSS Compliance procedure
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_DSS) and have to either justify why
we don't need to install an anti-virus or find an anti-virus to run on
our CentOS 5 servers.

Whatever I do - it needs to be convincing enough to make the PCI
compliance guy tick the box.

So:

1. Has anyone here gone though such a procedure and got good arguments
against the need for anti-virus?
2. Alternatively - what linux anti-virus (oh, the shame of typing this
word combination :() do you use which doesn't affect our systems
performance too much.

The reviewed servers run both Internet-facing web applications and
internal systems, mostly using proprietary protocol for internal
communications. They are being administrated remotely via IPSec VPN
(and possibly in the future also OpenVPN).

Thanks,

--Amos
