The long wait is over! We are very excited to launch the SCAP-On-Apple Project here on MacOSForge.org simultaneously with the first community gathering at the 8th Annual IT Security Automation Conference in Baltimore, MD - October 3-5, 2012.
The SCAP-On-Apple Open Source Project engages and empowers the SCAP community to strengthen the awareness, knowledge and collaboration on SCAP Content, Tools and Solutions with authoritative data for the Apple Platforms OSX and iOS.
Managing patches and secure configurations of a large number of enterprise systems, while ensuring each one is compliant with security requirements, has become a daunting task for IT. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is leading the charge in defining the standards, developing the specifications, and guiding the community in developing SCAP content and deploying compliant tools for all platforms.
Special Publication 800-117 Revision 1 (DRAFT)
This Project’s goal is to augment the existing SCAP Community efforts by focusing exclusively on relevant information for OSX and iOS. To facilitate the SCAP Community, the project will provide the following services hosted here under https://SCAP-On-Apple.MacOSForge.org/ :
The Project Team encourages all participants to fully utilize the Ticketing System to identify, submit, and track defects and enhancement requests against all content (wiki, documentation, tools, source code, etc.) maintained by this project.
Jump into the project and engage!
