[Announcements for BES Administrators]

*Product:*
BigFix Compliance

*Title:*
Updated CIS Checklist for Oracle MySQL Enterprise Edition 8.4 on Linux to
support a more recent version of the benchmark

*Security Benchmark: *CIS Oracle MySQL Enterprise Edition 8.4 Benchmark,
v1.1.0

*Published Sites:*
CIS Checklist for Oracle MySQL Enterprise Edition 8.4 on Linux, site
version 2
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers)

*Details:*

●      Total Fixlets in Site: 66

●      Total updated fixlet: 3 (7.1, 7.3, 8.1)

●      Fixlets with remediation: 17

●      Parameterized fixlets: 11

●      The Applicability Fixlet includes additional validation, ensuring
that the Environment Setup Task log file exists, is not older than 90 days,
and that results of files are present. This ensures Fixlets are reported as
Not Applicable, and that the Measured Value (MV) correctly indicates that
the Environment Setup Task has not been executed.

●      The Environment Setup task updated to utilize 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.

●      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.
