SaltStack SecOps scans an organization’s infrastructure in real-time to determine non-compliance with policies including CIS Benchmarks, and then automates remediation of any discovered vulnerability or misconfiguration. It leverages SaltStack intelligent, event-driven automation to manage and secure any data center infrastructure including public and private cloud infrastructure, network devices, any operating system, Kubernetes or Docker container environments, and more. SaltStack automation makes self-healing, continuously compliant infrastructure possible.
SaltStack Comply provides continuous compliance for SaltStack customers, offering access to a live and growing repository of industry-validated compliance profiles. Each profile includes hundreds of up-to-date policy definitions, scans, and automated remediation actions leveraging SaltStack configuration management and infrastructure automation capabilities.
