Enhanced Unix Builtin Find

Plugin

21157 - Compliance Unix

Target Release Date

01 July 2019

Change

Compliance Plugin 21157 for Unix, has a series of built-in checks for finding various files with specific permissions and flags. The built-in checks can use the 'ignore' tag in audits to filter the report findings after the fact. The change uses the 'ignore' tag before processing to potentially reduce scan times, remove permission access errors, and ignore mount points that do not meet scanning criteria.

Impact

Customers should expect improved find performance on supported target operating systems.
