Tenable and SCAP 1.1
by Kelly Todd on January 19, 2011
Tenable recently announced that SecurityCenter 4 has been validated by NIST as conforming to the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) version 1.0. The specifications for the latest version of SCAP, 1.1, have recently been released through NIST’s third public draft of Special Publication 800-126 Rev. 1, and the revision is currently open until January 28 for public comment on implementation, content or functional issues within the specification. Tenable is already focusing on the changes included in SCAP 1.1 and will incorporate them into both SecurityCenter and Tenable’s xTool, which is used to parse XCCDF SCAP content available from NIST and also convert SecurityCenter reports into the FDCC reporting format.
