I am conducting a survey on the development and use of SCAP content and tools for Mac OS X (any version). I have been on the sidelines of this field for 5 years and would like to find other, more involved individuals and companies to get a better idea
of how widespread the activity is. I have seen emails from many persons on several lists and would like to collect them for a future project. If you or your company fit any of the following, please respond, highlighting your involvement:
1. Anyone who has tinkered with SCAP content for Mac OS X (a little or a lot!). This includes creating OVAL and XCCDF content for use by commercial systems.
2. Any vendor who has supplied any level of OS X SCAP content or clients, including them as part of a test or released system. (I get emails from many of you already but would like to know specifics on how extensive your OSX client capabilities are.)
3. Anyone who's company, institution, or branch of government has begun a project using SCAP to validate OS X system configurations. Q: Are you required to do this? If so, please include policy or regulation number.
4. Anyone who, like myself, is interested in this subject. (I'm not excluding anyone!)
Please reply to one of the lists or directly to me. I will not give your name to any vendor, although I will use this information to continue my effort to get engineering time from Apple.
Thank you for your time.
