[Announcements for BES Administrators]

*Product:*
BigFix Compliance

*Title:*
Updated CIS Checklist for Amazon Linux 2.

*Security Benchmark:*
CIS Checklist for Amazon Linux 2 Benchmark, V3.0.0

*Published Sites:*
CIS Checklist for Amazon Linux 2, site version 6.
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers.)

*Details:*

   - Both analysis and remediation checks are included
   - Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
   enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization
   and remediation actions require the creation of a custom site.
   Improved few checks by adding the pending restart feature to them. The
   pending restart feature works in the following ways:
   - The action results will show “Pending Restart” instead of “Fixed” for
   those checks which require OS reboot.
   - The check will show relevant for those endpoints until they are
   rebooted.
   - Post reboot of the endpoint the action results will show as “Fixed”,
   and the check will be compliant.
