What do you like best about the product?
when you pair RHEL minimal installation with CIS benchmark. You are now double edge sord.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CIS benchmark scripts for opensource OS should be free to use
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CIS almost locked all doors of entries. Sometimes an attacker filled the tmp file thru garbage data which halts the OS. in case of CIS benchmarked machine it helps you so that the application face challange due to unab le to generate data at tmp path
Great Image - Fix the Audit rules
Great Image but audit rules
Reviewed on May 26, 2023
Purchase verified by AWS
This is a great image which has different filesystems for /var/log/ /var/log/audit /home and /tmp. When we tried to deploy the Redhat image and apply stigs, we found the audit and messages filesystems were overloading the kernel and the IO from those precluded the image from running in a healthy stage. Using this CIS image with the CAT II STIGs, made it perfect.
However, CIS is sloppy in apply the audit rules on this image. Out of the box we found that there exists a audit.rules and CIS.rules file that contain duplicate entries that error on the OS and with security agents that use the rules. This is just sloppy and should be addressed by CIS
