October 2012 DISA updates

It's been a while since I last posted....I've had a lot of irons in the fire lately.  And, it doesn't help that we have gotten really busy, or were.  Now, there are artifacts and documentation to create.

So, in doing some research for a particular client, I surfed over to DISA's site and found that they had released a whole bunch of STIGs for the quarter.  Here's the list that I found for October:

I noticed that Gold Disk was updated.  I thought I read that this is the last update for Gold Disk.  I have not used it in quite a while, as we have been transitioning to the SCAP Compliance Checker (SCC) for all of our SCAP content.  I do miss the MS Office checks and browser checks that were bundled in Gold Disk.  But, we're finding that scripting out SCC has been meeting our needs.
