Security Checks

Compliance Checks have become even more powerful.

Stata Cloud Manager leverages a set of predefined Best Practice Checks that align with industry-specific standard cybersecurity controls, such as CIS (Center for Internet Security) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and custom checks you create based on the specific needs of your organization. These checks evaluate configurations, identifying deviations from best practices or compliance requirements. Previously, we collectively called these Compliance Checks.

For this release, we've rolled Compliance Checks into Security Posture Settings. Security Posture Settings brings together the functionality of both the AIOps and Cloud Manager security check settings pages.

Security Checks also now let you:

Create custom checks by cloning select existing checks, making check customization even easier.
Exclude checks from being applied to your deployment. In special cases where you want to turn off certain checks for some areas of your deployment or there are reasons specific checks don't make sense for you, instead of disabling them, now you can restrict where checks are applied in your deployment.
- The new Check Exception feature replaces the "Enable/Disable" functionality of the old settings page.
- Cloud Manager Support for real-time inline check exemptions isn't available in this release, but we're working hard to bring it to you soon.
Raise an Alert (default) for a failed check, or Block a configuration with failing checks from being pushed out to your deployment.
Get field-level, inline checks during policy creation and device setup that show you where your configuration does not align with best practice or custom checks, inline, so you can take immediate action.
