Performing a Compliance Scan and Active Remediation Using OSCAP
In this lab, we'll install and use openscap-scanner from the terminal. Using active remediation, we'll run a compliance scan that will permit OpenSCAP to fix any problems it finds. Then we'll create a report from the scan findings. Lastly, we'll review the report findings to see what OpenSCAP found and was able to remediate. *This course is not approved or sponsored by Red Hat.*
