Lists the security checks included in the policy template.
The Alias Name specifies alternate names that describe the unique instances of the security checks in the policy template. Usually, each instance verifies the status of different policies or requirements. The aliases are designed to help you review the audit report more effectively.
For example, the CIS Level Two Benchmark for RHEL policy template includes multiple instances of the Software not installed security check. Each instance has a unique name that indicates its purpose:
|
Security check name |
Alias name |
|---|---|
|
Software not installed |
1.4.4 Remove SETroubleshoot |
|
Software not installed |
1.4.5 Remove MCS Translation Service (mcstrans) |
|
Software not installed |
2.1.11 Remove xinetd |
In this example, the alias also includes a numerical reference to the particular CIS requirement.
