The Open Security Content Automation Protocol (OpenSCAP)
Guide package (scap-security-guide)
provides guidance, baselines, and validation mechanisms for
implementing security hardening of an Oracle Linux 6 system. OpenSCAP
includes the oscap utility that you use to
test the security compliance of a system and produce an online
report that describes security policy requirements and how
your system measures up to these requirements. OpenSCAP
enables you to check system compliance, as required by your
site security policy.
See Oracle® Linux 6: Security Guide for more information on OpenSCAP.
