About Security Hardening
ThreatQuotient provides steps to assist customers in setting up a hardened Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.4 and 9.6 environments according to one of the supported CIS or DISA hardening standards below prior to installing ThreatQ v6:
| RHEL Version | Hardening Standard | See... |
|---|---|---|
| 9.4 |
|
|
| 9.6 | DISA STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 V2R3 | DISA Hardening for RHEL 9.6 |
It is very important that all steps in the guide are followed and all provided commands are executed. Once the deployment is complete, the VM will be running on a RHEL 9.4 OR 9.6 OS hardened according to the selected standard. There is no need to run any additional scripts to further harden the VM. Please consult with ThreatQ Support if you have any questions about the process.
ThreatQ continually updates this guide to provide you with the best possible information.
See Red Hat's online documentation for more information on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 security hardening options.
