Arellia 7.1 SP3 has introduced requirements of SQL Server 2008 as a minimum SQL Server Platform
Security Analysis Solution 7.1 SP3 is being made available via downloadable product listing
Overview
Security Analysis Solution provides the ability to import SCAP content into the Symantec Management Platform CMDB and allows for the continuous monitoring of security configuration management issues that arise due to system vulnerability and misconfiguration on endpoints within an organization.
Through fully automated processes, users can define policies that enforce the assessment of tailored SCAP profiles on a scheduled basis, optionally followed by automated remediation to keep their managed computers compliant. The results of these assessments and remediation are all collected and stored in the CMDB, allowing for rich reporting, alerting and data exchange. All data imported and collected can be leveraged to precisely identify specific conditions and turned into actionable tasks, furthering configuration compliance.
Visit the Standards page to review the SCAP implementation and other related open standards leveraged by Security Analysis Solution.
