Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-254194 NUTX-OS-001070 SV-254194r846670_rule Medium
Description
The Nutanix platform leverages the use of the Security Configuration Management Automation (SCMA) framework to ensure secure configurations have not been altered from their desired state. If the SCMA framework is not run on a daily basis, changes to the secure baseline could be made, compromising multiple security functions and features on the operating system.
