Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 STIG automation released
Red Hat News, Thursday, January 4th, 2024
On October 11, 2023, The United States Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) published their Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9. A compliance automation profile is now available, reducing the time and complexity necessary to bring systems into compliance.
Red Hat's compliance automation profile for RHEL 9 is aligned with the Version 1, Release 1 (V1R1) of the STIG. Using this profile, organizations can more swiftly increase their systems compliance status by utilizing the scap-security-guide package with its pre-built Ansible Playbooks and the OpenSCAP scanner, Red Hat Insights or Red Hat Satellite for existing RHEL installations. This content can also be used with the RHEL Installer and Image Builder for new RHEL installations.
