Feds finally extend security baseline to Red Hat Linux

A version of the U.S. Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) for Red Hat Linux Desktop is in the house. The first set of USGCB security requirements were created some five years ago by the Office of Management and Budget. With the proliferation of Macs and iPads, I’m surprised not to see a similar USGAB for Apple products. The current US GCB requirement is a collection of more than 337 security settings for Windows and 115 settings for Internet Explorer 8. A good example is a. complex, 12-character-minimum password changed every 60 days or less.”]
