Verify secure configuration of operating systems in Cloud Advisor

The new version of Cloud Advisor includes a Host Configuration module that validates the operating system settings of virtual machines deployed in the public cloud against the Center of Internet Security's “Linux CIS Benchmark” standard.

Cloud Advisor scans virtual machines in the cloud infrastructure, identifies insecure configurations and provides remediation instructions for various operating systems. The recommendations are aimed at improving the security of information systems, meeting regulatory requirements and neutralizing attack paths that can be implemented using insecure OS configurations.

Configuration errors are detected using innovative agentless scanning. This approach ensures 100% coverage of the entire infrastructure, product deployment in minutes, reduced administration costs and no impact on virtual machine performance.
