Solaris Security Policy Benchmark

The Solaris security policy benchmark is a standard based on the “secure by default” (SBD) default installation of Oracle Solaris.

The benchmark provides two profiles: Baseline and Recommended.

  • The Baseline profile of the Solaris benchmark closely matches the default SBD installation of Oracle Solaris.

  • The Recommended profile satisfies organizations with stricter security requirements than the Baseline profile. Systems that comply with the Recommended profile also comply with the Baseline profile.

The features which comprise SBD are described in Oracle Solaris Configurable Security in Oracle Solaris 11.4 Security and Hardening Guidelines.

The Solaris benchmark does not satisfy the requirements of the PCI DSS, CIS, or Defense Information Systems Agency-Security Technical Information Guides (DISA-STIG) benchmarks for Oracle Solaris.
