Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Security Blanket Standalone and Security Blanket Enterprise Edition?
Security Blanket Enterprise Edition was developed for organizations with a medium-to-large number of Linux servers. It is comprised of an Administration Console where all Linux servers can be centrally managed. The standalone version of Security Blanket is installed on each individual server. With Enterprise Edition, the Console communicates with each standalone server, allowing centralized management. Organizations with a smaller number of Linux servers may elect to simply run the standalone version on each server and manage them independently.
Does Security Blanket Enterprise Edition support operating systems other than RHEL4 and RHEL5?
The current release of Security Blanket supports RHEL 4 & 5 (32 and 64 bit), CentOS 4 & 5 (32 & 64 bit and Desktop) and Oracle Enterprise Linux versions 4 and 5. The Security Blanket Enterprise Edition Administration Console runs on RHEL 5 (32 & 64 bit), CentOS 5 (32 and 64 bit) and Oracle Enterprise Linux version 5.
How does Security Blanket Enterprise Edition and the Standalone work with (or compliment) SELinux?
Security Blanket can harden a system already protected by the default RHEL5 SELinux configuration, called “Targeted.” Targeted SELinux provides security lockdown of processes. Security Blanket locks down configuration and unsafe network services.
Does Security Blanket Standalone have a command line option to facilitate automatic report generation, applies, and scans?
Yes, the command line option is in the current release of Security Blanket. Additionally, we have enhanced the command line option to allow it to run without graphical libraries installed, creating a batch mode.
Is there User Documentation for Security Blanket Enterprise Edition and Security Blanket Standalone?
Yes. The product includes user documentation that is integrated in "Help". A PDF version of the Security Blanket Standalone user guide can be downloaded from this website (Product Support page).
