Title:
Updated CIS Checklist for AlmaLinux OS 9 with bug fixes
Security Benchmark:
CIS AlmaLinux OS 9 Benchmark, v2.0.0
Published Sites:
CIS Checklist for AlmaLinux OS 9, site version 5
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers.)
Details:
● We updated the site relevance for the CIS Checklist for AlmaLinux OS 9 so that it applies only to the relevant OS version, ensuring actions target only applicable machines.
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 a 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.
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 11.0.4 and later.
