How a SCAP scan works

Access SCAP Scan information
View and manage benchmarks
Import and modify benchmarks
Configure SCAP schedules

Before SCAP scans are conducted, the appliance imports and verifies a benchmark. After it is imported and verified, the benchmark is loaded into the appliance and the XCCDF file undergoes a process called resolution.

During resolution, the oval-command.zip file is generated. This ZIP file contains the input files necessary to run a particular profile. You can view the files on the Script Detail page. See Configure SCAP schedules.

The SCAP scan is controlled by a KScript. When the scan runs, the following files are downloaded to the target device as script dependencies:

•
benchmark.zip: contains the benchmark files, that is, the SCAP Stream that was uploaded to the appliance. (The XCCDF file is not actually used by the device.)
•
oval-command.zip: contains the input files generated by the XCCDF.
•
ovalref.zip: contains the OVAL scanning engine (ovaldi.exe).

The KScript initiates the OVAL scans on the target device and generates several results files. The OVAL scanning engine runs two or three times:

•
The first run checks that the target device is the correct platform for that benchmark profile using the CPE files contained in the benchmark.
•
The second run checks the vulnerability of the device using the rules defined in the benchmark. It implements the CCE standard.
•
The third run checks that the security patches are up-to-date. It implements the CVE standard.

Each run generates a results file. These files are named according to the run. For example, the file from the first run is named scap-profile-10-result-1.xml and the second is named scap-profile-10-result-2.xml. These files are located in the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Quest\KACE\kbots_cache\packages\kbots\<working directory>.

To find the KACE Agent’s working directory, go to Inventory > Devices > Device Detail > Logs.

These results files are then uploaded to the appliance and collated into a single results file (xccdf-results.xml). You can use this file for reporting the results to a government agency such as the US OMB (United States Office of Management and Budget). The appliance and managed device retain only the latest results files.

In the final step of a run, a subset of the results files is extracted and stored in the Organization database for reporting and displayed on the SCAP Scan Results page for each device.

The database tables that contain this information are SCAP_RESULT, SCAP_RESULT_RULE, and SCAP_RESULT_SCORE. See View SCAP scan results.

Access SCAP Scan information

You can access SCAP Scan information in the Security section.

1.
Go to SCAP Scan page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Security, then click SCAP Scan.
c.
This page has three links:
▪
Catalog: Shows the status of SCAP benchmarks. Additionally from this page, you can import checklists, delete checklists, and export a checklist to CSV format.
▪
Schedules: Displays the name of the benchmarks and when they are scheduled to run. Additionally from this page, you can add and delete benchmarks, enable or disable benchmarks, and export a benchmark to CSV format.
▪
Reporting: Shows the general results of SCAP scans.

The page also displays a dashboard that shows the results by benchmark. For a device to pass a benchmark, it must score 100%.

View and manage benchmarks

You can view and manage SCAP benchmarks, which include profiles and checklists that have been imported to the appliance.

Additionally, you can import benchmarks, delete benchmarks, and export benchmarks to CSV format by selecting Choose Action on the SCAP Catalog page.

1.
Go to SCAP Catalog list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Security, then click SCAP Scan.
c.
On the SCAP Scan panel, click Catalog.
2.
Optional: Specify which benchmarks are displayed using either the View By drop-down list or Search field.
You can search by partial string in the title or identifier.
3.
Optional: To sort the benchmarks, click a column heading.
4.
Click the name of a benchmark to view details.

The SCAP Catalog contains general information about the selected benchmark and the time and date that the SCAP data was uploaded to the appliance. See Download benchmarks from the archive.

Import and modify benchmarks

You can import and modify benchmarks from the National Checklist Repository as needed.

Download benchmarks or checklists from the National Checklist Repository at https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/ncp/repository.
1.
Go to SCAP Catalog list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Security, then click SCAP Scan.
c.
On the SCAP Scan panel, click Catalog.
2.
Select Choose Action > Import New Checklists.
The SCAP Configuration Scan Settings page appears and displays Step 1 of the import wizard.
3.
Click Browse or Choose File to import a benchmark ZIP file.
4.
Click Next.
A dialog box appears indicating that the file is being uploaded. After the file is uploaded, a message appears on the SCAP Configuration Scan Settings page that the import was successful.
* 
NOTE: The appliance verifies that the ZIP file contains valid benchmarks. If no valid benchmarks are present, an error message appears and the file is not uploaded.
5.
Select a benchmark in the Select a profile to scan drop-down list, then click Next.
Step 2 appears.
6.
Select the OVAL Engine that you want to use in the Scan using existing engine drop-down list.
* 
NOTE: The default engine is MITRE’s OVAL Interpreter (ovaldi.exe). The appliance automatically downloads updates to this engine when Quest certifies and releases new versions of the engine and OVAL definitions.
7.
Optional: Click Browse or Choose File to find and upload a custom engine and its configuration files.
A dialog box appears indicating that the file is being uploaded and a message appears on the SCAP Configuration Scan Settings page that the engine was successfully imported.
* 
TIP: Use a custom engine if you need local control of the OVAL engine or if you do not want automatic updates to change the engine. The custom engine must be a ZIP file of a folder containing the custom ovaldi.exe and any necessary configuration files required to run the engine. This ZIP file replaces the ovalref.zip dependency file in the SCAP scan script. See View the resolved XCCDF files.
8.
Click Next.

A dialog box appears indicating that the benchmark file is being loaded, followed by the Script Detail page. See Editing SCAP scan schedules.
