Description
Discussion Text
Configuring the operating system to implement organizationwide security implementation guides and security checklists verifies compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline across the DoW that reflects the most restrictive security posture consistent with operational requirements.
Configuration settings are the set of parameters that can be changed in hardware, software, or firmware components of the system that affect the security posture and/or functionality of the system. Security-related parameters are parameters impacting the security state of the system, including the parameters required to satisfy other security control requirements. Security-related parameters include, for example, registry settings; account, file, and directory permission settings; and settings for functions, ports, protocols, services, and remote connections.
End Of Life dates for Oracle Linux 8 releases are as follows:
Current end of Premier Support for Oracle Linux 8 is July 2029.
Current end of Extended Support for Oracle Linux 8 is July 2032.
Each minor version reaches end of life when the new version is released.
