[BESAdmin-Announcements] SCM Content: *NEW* CIS AIX 7.1 Now Available

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

IBM Endpoint Manager for Security and Compliance 

Security Configuration Management (SCM)

IBM is pleased to announce the availability of new security configuration 
management checklists for IBM Endpoint Manager for Security and 
Compliance. The new checklists based on guidance provided by the Center 
for Internet Security (CIS), are listed below.

New Sites (in-line parameterization model):
CIS Checklist for AIX 7.1 - RG03: site version 1

New Sites (action script parameterization model):
SCM Checklist for CIS on AIX 7.1 - RG03: site version 1

* Please note:
The "RG03" suffix for the site names represents release groups. We create 
new release groups when the security checklists have changed significantly 
as to not override customers with disruptive changes to their compliance 
checklists.

*Site versions provided for air-gap customers.

For the “In-line” parameterization model, each security control contains 
the parameterization settings in a form directly on the Fixlet Description 
tab. 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.
 
 
ACTIONS TO TAKE
All customers that currently license the Tivoli Endpoint Manager for 
Security and Compliance product, the BigFix SCMv3 solution module, the

Manager 8.1 and you are entitled to the new content, you may use the
