Description
Standard Build policy and Documentation HomeworkPurpose“Mitigating the risk to critical systems from vulnerabilities in the operating system build is an important responsibility of any system administrator. In organizations with a large number of servers, running multiple applications and services, managing the state of production builds can be a time-consuming exercise. Regardless of the size of an organization’s IT infrastructure, it is crucial from a security perspective that administrators know the detail of the production operating system configuration on the servers for which they are responsible. Establishing a standard system build policy for each operating system is the foundation upon which to build an understanding of systems, improving the ability to detect a change and to understand the risk posed by new threats.” - SANS Operating System Build Management in the EnterpriseGoalTo develops and writes a standard build policy for King.xyz.
