VIII Understanding Security Checks

Select Assess > Security Checks

A security check is a query that an agent performs on an endpoint to test for potential vulnerabilities in the endpoint’s configuration settings, such as who has user privileges for an Oracle database. Secure Configuration Manager provides hundreds of built-in security checks to ensure policy compliance.

For more information about running a security check, see Section 7.0, Running a Security Check.

To receive updated or new security checks, use the AutoSync feature. To modify a security check or import a new or updated security check, use the Windows console. For more information, see the NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager documentation.
