SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol)

SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) is a framework developed to help organizations manage and improve their cybersecurity by automating security assessments and compliance checks. It provides a standardized way to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security issues across different systems and software. Using SCAP, organizations can systematically evaluate their security posture, ensure consistent compliance with policies, and efficiently deploy security updates. Essentially, it streamlines the process of checking for security gaps and helps maintain a stronger, more secure IT environment through automation and standardization.
