<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">The Security and Compliance team at IBM
has modified the content within the DISA Checklists for both Windows and
UNIX Operating Systems.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">Each of these content sites contain security
configuration checks that evaluate and, if desired, remediate the security
settings of your endpoints according the US Department of Defense DISA
STIGs, which "contain technical guidance to 'lock down' information
systems/software that might otherwise be vulnerable to a malicious computer
attack" (</font><a href=http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/><font size=3 face="Calibri">http://iase.disa.mil/stigs/</font></a><font size=3 face="Calibri">).
</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Calibri">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 many checks have a parameterized setting enabling
simple customization for compliance evaluation and remediation.</font>
