Ubuntu 18.04 CIS STIG

Build Status Ansible Role

Configure Ubuntu 18.04 machine to be CIS compliant. Level 1 and 2 findings will be corrected by default.

This role will make changes to the system that could break things. This is not an auditing tool but rather a remediation tool to be used after an audit has been conducted.

IMPORTANT INSTALL STEP

If you want to install this via the ansible-galaxy command you'll need to run it like this:

ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml

With this in the file requirements.yml:

- src: https://github.com/florianutz/Ubuntu1804-CIS.git

Based on CIS Ubuntu Benchmark v1.0.0 - 08-13-2018 .

This repo originated from work done by MindPointGroup
