Fedora 14 Spotlight Feature: Keeping Secure with OpenSCAP

Red Hat News has started a series of blog posts leading up to the Fedora 14 "Laughlin" release highlighting some of the new features. The first post looks at the inclusion of OpenSCAP. "SCAP is a line of standards managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It provides a standardized approach to maintaining the security of systems, such as automatically verifying the presence of patches, checking system security configuration settings, and examining systems for signs of compromise. With OpenSCAP, the open source community is leveraging many different components from the security standards ecosystem."
