Key objectives
This release includes a huge milestone by implementing the possibility to select both Level 1 and/or Level 2 benchmarks. Additionally a couple of CIS benchmark checks can be customised in order to match organisation’s technical policies. To start with we are have been implemented this feature set for the CIS benchmarks for Windows 10 and 2016.
If you want to know more on how to apply a different level of benchmark rule refer to the documentation here. With this Nanitor release onwards it will be possible for certain benchmark rules to set customised values for a rule to check against. E.g you might want to set the password policy to 30 characters rather than the default value provided by CIS. Customisable rules are available within the Windows 10 and 2016 benchmarks only to start with but will be extended to further benchmarks in the upcoming releases. You can refer to our documentation on how to customize benchmark rules here.
One of our focus points for the next release is a better usability of Nanitor. As a commitment to that goal we implement more possibilities in the issue filter. This is to reflect and streamline along with other areas within Nanitor.
Having a prioritised list of issues is fundamental to scope out work to harden your IT infrastructure. We are aware that fixing vulnerabilities can be hustle and sometimes simply impossible when vendors do not provide fixes or vulnerabilities are discovered in shared applications with a high risk of upgrading. Nanitor ranked issues higher up the diamond with time with the so called elevator. This meant especially for vulnerabilities ending up on top of the diamond quickly resulting in an overwhelming amount of issues to handle. Included in this release is a breaking change by removing this age elevator by default. Means you will recognise a markable amount of issues being released from the top of the diamond. We made this “feature” now configurable in order for you to turn it back on when you wish to do so.
