Hi,

 

Are there any scripts available following best practice for hardening of Linux OS for Media Agents?

I found this in the store: Store

but seems to be more like a report and not a proper script.

 

Kind regards,

Daniel

Hi ​@danbj ,
 

As of now, the required scripts are missing from the store and are currently being worked on internally for restoration.

However, we do have pre-hardened images available for Linux OS. Kindly refer to the document below for more details.

For RedHat Linux Operating systems you can select the CIS Red Hat Enterprise Linux Benchmark for Level 1 Server Security policy during the installation.

Hi Pradeep,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

Given the links you provided, I can still not find a distribution, specifically for my version 11.32. Couldn’t you simply link to the location where I can find these pre-hardened images available for download?

Hi ​@danbj ,

I see the hardening scripts and image are missing and this is being addressed internally.
