Dear BESAdmin Community,
**NEW Release**
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
the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA – US DoD) is for Redhat 6:
- SCM Checklist for DISA STIG on RHEL 6 v1 (Action Script based
parameterization)
- DISA STIG Checklist for RHEL 6 v1 (In-line parameterization, requires
TEM 8.1+)
* Please note:
For Unix - The “Action Script based” parameterization model, each security
control has a corresponding Fixlet Task that can be used to alter the
check’s parameters. In the “In-line” parameterization model, each security
control contains the parameterization settings in a form directly on the
Fixlet Description tab. For Unix Fixlets, the In-line model requires TEM
8.1 and later.
This content contains security configuration checks that evaluate and, if
desired, remediate the security settings of your endpoints according the
DISA 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 v928
- SCM Reporting v37
