Product:
BigFix Compliance

Title:
Updated DISA STIG Checklist for AIX 7.x to support a more recent version of the benchmark

Security Benchmark:
IBM AIX 7.x Security Benchmark, V3R2

Published Sites:
DISA STIG Checklist for AIX 7.x, site version 19
(The site version is provided for air-gap customers.)

Details:

· Total Fixlets in Site: 268

· Metadata has been updated as per the latest benchmark version.

· 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.

· The Applicability Fixlet has been updated to include additional validation. It now 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.

· In addition, we have updated the relevance of the individual Fixlets to align with these enhanced validation checks.
