With
the slew of recent security issues like Supermarket Point of Sale
Compromises not
once but
twice,
other large retailer card
breaches, the
famed
Heartbleed vulnerability
and others in the news. We want to share an example of how CFEngine can
be used to quickly identify and remediate affected systems. In our
documentation please find the “Reporting and Remediation of Security
Vulnerabilities”
tutorial. The tutorial walks through policy to both identify and
remediate the recent
#shellshock
exploit. For those using CFEngine Enterprise there is guidance on
creating dashboard alerts and inventory reports included.
