Welcome Beth,
I am glad our tutorial made a good impression and we have you on board!
As SCAP can be sometimes a bit daunting for newcomers, don't hesitate
and ask, either here, or on Github. It will also help us - we want our
project to be accessible, but it's hard to do with our bias and
knowledge of the internals. Fresh point of view always helps us make the
experience smoother.
Regards,
Marek

Greetings,
I am excited to be involved in the OpenSCAP community as a security
specialist. My research as a hopeful grant recipient of the Department
of Energy Small Business Innovation Research program drives me to
contribute to OpenSCAP. My topic of research is how to secure a High
Performance Computing ecosystem and I am convinced that OpenSCAP is the
way to go. After attending the OpenSCAP tutorial at the USENIX Large
Installation System Administrator conference under the diversity
scholarship, I could not be more convinced of OpenSCAP’s capabilities of
automating at scale the monumental task of securing a supercomputer.
I have worked as a system administrator in research computing for over
17 years. At times it was my responsibility as a subject matter expert
to bring one component of this ecosystem to compliance. The work was
often tedious with manually configuration verification and penetration
testing. I have tried CIS-CAT but I found the scripts inflexible. The
inability of CIS-CAT to port your own security plan goes against my
personal preference of freedom. I applaud Red Hat for sponsoring a
superior solution.
In full disclosure, I have always been a fan of Red Hat and I am an
active Fedora Project contributor. FAS:bethlynn
Thank you very much for allowing me to introduce myself. I’m very much
looking forward to working with OpenSCAP.
Thanks,
Beth Lynn Eicher
