About SCAP

About SCAP

SCAP supported versions and platforms
How the appliance conducts SCAP scans
Definitions of SCAP standards

SCAP (Secure Content Automation Protocol), is a set of open standards that enumerate software flaws, monitor security-related configurations and product names, and examine systems to determine the presence of vulnerabilities and rank (score) the impact of the discovered security issues on Windows devices.

SCAP is maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and its use is mandated by government agencies such as the US OMB (United States Office of Management and Budget).

SCAP uses the US government’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD), which is a standards-based vulnerability management data repository. NVD includes databases of security checklists, security-related software flaws, misconfigurations, product names, and impact metrics. For more information on SCAP and NVD, go to the NIST websites at http://scap.nist.gov/index.html and http://nvd.nist.gov/.

SCAP supported versions and platforms

The appliance supports SCAP 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. SCAP is certified to run on Windows 7 and higher platforms (32-bit and 64-bit systems).

The appliance conducts SCAP scans using the KACE Agent software that is installed on managed devices. SCAP is not available for devices that do not have the KACE Agent software installed, such as Agentless devices.

How the appliance conducts SCAP scans

The appliance conducts SCAP scans by running scripts on selected Agent-managed devices using security configuration checklists from the National Checklist Repository.

For SCAP versions 1.0 and 1.1, the script checks the SCAP data stream written in XML formats using the following SCAP standards: CCE, CPE, CVE, CVSS, OVAL, and XCCDF. See Definitions of SCAP standards.

SCAP 1.2 and 1.3 add the concept of the Data Stream, where all of the individual results files are combined into a single XML file. In addition, these versions add a new output format called ARF (Asset Report Format 1.1). For more information, go to http://scap.nist.gov/specifications/arf/.

The appliance uses the Agent software to perform SCAP scan compliance checks. The results files are uploaded to the appliance or organization database and collated into a single file for reporting to a government agency (if required). Results are also displayed for each device on the appliance’s SCAP Scan Results page.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you view SCAP scan results for each organization separately.

SCAP uses the OVAL Interpreter version 5.10.1 and provides:

•
Security configuration monitoring of devices that have different operating systems and software applications.
•
System security status at any given time.
•
Compliance for various sets of security requirements.
•
A standardized, automated way to perform security tasks.
•
Interoperability across security tools.

These features improve software security, threat assessment, and vulnerability correction.

NOTE: The appliance does not currently support Tailoring.
Definitions of SCAP standards

SCAP scans monitor device security using specified protocols and standards.

Standard

Definition

CCE

Common Configuration Enumeration provides unique identifiers to system configuration issues for facilitating fast and accurate correlation of configuration data across multiple information sources and tools.

The compliance checking results produced by the appliance SCAP scan include the relevant CCE ID references for XCCDF and OVAL definitions for every rule checked as designated by the checklist definition.

CCE information is available both in the XCCDF result file and the appliance’s SCAP Scan Results page.

CPE

Common Platform Enumeration is a structured naming scheme for information technology systems, platforms, and packages. Based on the generic syntax for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI), CPE includes a formal name format, a language for describing complex platforms, a method for checking names against a system, and a description format for binding text and tests to a name. In essence, CPE ensures that the security checklist is applied to the correct platform.

This information is available both in the XCCDF result file and the appliance’s SCAP Scan Results page.

CVE

Common Vulnerability and Exposures is a list or dictionary that provides standard identifiers (common names) for publicly known security vulnerabilities and software flaws.

The compliance checking results produced by the appliance SCAP scan include the relevant CVE ID references and OVAL definition for every rule checked in the checklist definition.

For every patch or vulnerability, CVE ID references are provided in the appliance’s SCAP Scan Result page.

The CVE information is stored in a patch result XML file generated by the scan. The file is available for inspection and verification in the Agent’s working directory and on the server’s SCAP Scan Results page.

CVSS

Common Vulnerability Scoring System provides an open framework for communicating the characteristics and impacts of IT vulnerabilities. Its quantitative model helps ensure repeatable accurate measurement while enabling users to see the underlying vulnerability characteristics that were used to generate the scores. CVSS is well suited for industries, organizations, and governments that need accurate and consistent vulnerability impact scores. Among others, CVSS assists prioritizing vulnerability remediation activities and calculating the severity of vulnerabilities. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) provides CVSS scores for almost all known vulnerabilities.

OVAL

Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language is an international, information security, community standard for promoting open and publicly available security content. It standardizes the transfer of this information across the entire spectrum of security tools and services.

The results of each OVAL test are written to several files on the target device and then compiled into a single result file on the appliance and displayed on the SCAP Scan Results page.

SCAP

Secure Content Automation Protocol is a set of open standards that enumerate software flaws, monitor security-related configurations and product names, and examine devices to determine the presence of vulnerabilities and rank (score) the impact of the discovered security issues. See About SCAP.

XCCDF

The eXtensible Configuration Checklist Description Format is a specification language for writing security checklists, benchmarks, and related documents. An XCCDF file contains a structured collection of security configuration rules for a set of target devices. The specification is designed to support information interchange, document generation, organizational and situational tailoring, automated compliance testing, and compliance scoring. See How a SCAP scan works.
