Install scap-security-guide Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The scap-security-guide package can be installed with the following command: 
$ sudo yum install scap-security-guide

Rationale

The scap-security-guide package provides a guide for configuration of the system from the final system's security point of view. The guidance is specified in the Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) format and constitutes a catalog of practical hardening advice, linked to government requirements where applicable. The SCAP Security Guide project bridges the gap between generalized policy requirements and specific implementation guidelines. A system administrator can use the oscap CLI tool from the openscap-scanner package, or the SCAP Workbench GUI tool from the scap-workbench package, to verify that the system conforms to provided guidelines. Refer to the scap-security-guide(8) manual page for futher information.
