How to Ensure Patch Compliance

Patch compliance indicates the number of compliant devices in your network. This means the number of computers that have been patched or remediated against security threats effectively. The distribution and deployment of patches accomplish nothing if your devices are not compliant. So to establish a good patch management strategy, it is important to pay attention to the effectiveness and reach of your patch deployment activities.

FIPS certification and CIS compliance with Ubuntu

There are few Linux distributions that undergo the FIPS certification process, and even fewer with certified images available for production use in multi-cloud environments. Canonical has built integrated services to easily enable FIPS certified or compliant modules for Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 LTS releases, as well as tooling to assist in hardening and auditing Ubuntu instances to meet CIS compliance benchmarks. These certified components enable operating environments under compliance regimes like FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI and ISO.

Digital Data Loggers vs. Chart Recorders. When To Upgrade

A digital data logger is an electronic device that measures and records various environmental conditions. These conditions can be temperature, humidity, pressure, voltage, or current. Measuring them is essential in many industries where compliance regulations exist. A chart recorder is essentially an old-school version of the digital data logger. Instead of using a microprocessor for storage, a chart recorder marks the measurements on a paper chart that shows variations in the values recorded at a glance. In this article, we will take a closer look at each and compare the two.
