[BESAdmin-Announcements] *NEW* USGCB Checklists now available Apr 19, 2012

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

Dear BESAdmin Community, 

IBM is pleased to announce the availability of the new security 
configuration management checklists for Tivoli Endpoint Manager for 
Security and Compliance. The new checklists based on guidance provided by 
USGCB are:


**New USGCB Checklists**:

USGCB Checklist for Internet Explorer 7 --------- site version 3
USGCB Checklist for Windows Vista -------------- site version 2
USGCB Checklist for Windows Vista Firewall -- site version 2
USGCB Checklist for Windows Vista Energy --- site version 2
USGCB Checklist for Windows XP ------------------ site version 2
USGCB Checklist for Windows XP Firewall ------ site version 2 
 
This content contains security configuration checks that evaluate and, if 
desired, remediate the security settings of your endpoints according the 
USGCB standards. As with most of the existing SCM content in the Tivoli 
Endpoint Manager for Security and Compliance library, most checks include 
a corresponding analysis property to report actual values (not just 
pass/fail), and most checks have a parameterized setting enabling simple 
customization for compliance evaluation and remediation.

In addition to the new sites, the following existing sites have been 
updated to be compatible with the new content (site versions included for 
air-gap customers):

- BES Support v884
- SCM Reporting v35

For a complete list of SCM Checklists included in the product, please see:

 Please contact IBM Tivoli Endpoint Manager Technical Support if you have 
any questions regarding this update.
 We hope you find this latest release of SCM content useful and effective. 
Thank you!

  -- The Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Security and Compliance product team
