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 allows you to
check system compliance as required by your site security
policy.
