*Additional 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 requires 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.
