[Announcements for BES Administrators]

*Product:*
BigFix Compliance

*Title:*
New CIS Checklist for Oracle Database 26ai on Linux

*Security Benchmark:*
CIS Oracle Database 26ai Benchmark

*Published Sites:*
CIS Checklist for Oracle Database 26ai on Linux, site version 2
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers.)

*Details:*


●      Total Fixlets in Site: 85

●      We have 2 Environment Setup tasks available on the site:

○      The first task works with credentials, where you need to enter the
instance name, Oracle Home path, and database credentials. This task scans
that particular instance and completes the assessment.

○      The second task requires you to provide the Oracle Wallet name,
which then dynamically fetches all running Oracle 26ai instances and
evaluates compliance, provided that the same wallet name is used across all
instances.

●      The Environment Setup task utilizes atomic result refreshes,
ensuring that existing results remain available until new results are
generated. Results now also include a collection timestamp for better
tracking and auditability.

●      The Applicability Fixlet verifies that the Environment Setup Task
log file exists, is not older than 90 days, and that the required result
files are present. This ensures that Fixlets are reported as Not Applicable
when the Environment Setup Task has not been executed, and that the
Measured Value (MV) correctly reflects this condition.

●      Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
enable customization for compliance evaluation. Note that parameterization
actions require the creation of a custom site.

*Actions to take:*

●       To subscribe to the above site, you can use the License Overview
Dashboard to enable and gather the site. Note that you must be entitled to
the BigFix Compliance product, and you must be using BigFix version 10 and
later.
