The Compliance “Easy Button”: How to Automate Security Configurations with Puppet and CIS
Previously presented on Wednesday, October 11 at 1 p.m. EDT
Description
No matter the size, geography, or industry vertical, every organization has cyber attacks on its radar. But as important as security is in an IT-driven world, configuration inconsistencies persist – some minimal, some critical, and all liabilities for auditing, reputation, and more. Securing infrastructure to meet the most widely used compliance frameworks simply takes too much time, effort, and money for most organizations to adequately ensure at scale.
The Center for Internet Security (CIS) is synonymous with security configuration best practices across the world. Puppet’s valuable partnership with CIS has helped develop products designed to maintain compliance in critical infrastructure, including integration of the CIS-CAT® Pro Assessor into Puppet Comply and Compliance Enforcement Modules built to enforce CIS Benchmarks.
