NIST's IT Security Automation Conference is being held next week in
Arlington, VA. More info is here:
http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/7th-annual-scap-conference.cfm
For those attending the conference, a Birds of a Feather session has
been arranged to discuss SCAP activities (such as expressing security
baselines in those formats) for Mac OS X. We will meet at:
12:30pm (over lunch) on Tuesday (Nov 1)
in the Capitol Room
The Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) defines specifications
that are intended to provide a common language for describing
security-relevant information about products and systems' configuration.
These include an XML schema for describing security
guidance/checklists (XCCDF) as well as an XML schema that describes
compliance checks (OVAL).
Useful SCAP content and scanning tools, as well as baselines, are
currently available for other platforms. This session is an opportunity
for the group to discuss current activities and obstacles, as well as
future opportunities for collaboration, for SCAP on OS X.
We anticipate several security product vendors, large enterprise systems
administrators, and representatives from NIST and Mitre will attend.
