The cybersecurity / infosec community has difficulties working together around breaches out of legal and public relations concerns, but can share best practices. The open source Assimilation Project compares system configurations against best practices in near-real-time. Our talk at OSCON 2015 talk gives an overview of the Assimilation System Management Suite, and outlines our efforts to include more security experts in our community and translate the results into open source code, creating “Security Best Practices As Code”.
For a little more detail on the approach that we’ll cover in our OSCON 2015 talk, see our blog post announcing the IT Best Practices Community.
We’ll also have a BOF on Thursday evening at 7 PM in room E145. Be there or be square!!
