Registration Now Open for Security Automation Developer Days 2012 on July 9-13

MITRE Corporation will host the fourth Security Automation Developer Days conference on July 9-13, 2012, at MITRE in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. This five-day conference is technical in nature and will focus on the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).

The purpose of the event is for the community to discuss SCAP — and those existing standards upon which it is based including Common Configuration Enumeration (CCE™), Common Platform Enumeration (CPE™), Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL®), Extensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF) — in technical detail and to derive solutions that benefit all concerned parties. All current and emerging SCAP standards are addressed at this workshop.

MITRE first hosted Developer Days in 2005 and has been running them annually ever since. The model for these technical exchanges has since been adopted as the format used by the Security Automation community.

An agenda will be available soon. For registration, lodging, and other conference details, please visit: https://register.mitre.org/devdays/.

CCE Mentioned in Article about Updates to Guidelines for Adopting and Using Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) on GCN

CCE is mentioned in a January 9, 2012 article entitled "Getting the most out of automated IT security management" on Government Computer News.com. The main topic of the article is the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updating its guidelines for using Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) "for checking and validating security settings on IT systems" by releasing "Special Publication 800-117, Guide to Adopting and Using the Security Content Automation Protocol Version 1.2, Revision 1."

CCE is mentioned when the author explains how SCAP combines several existing community standards created and maintained by several different organizations "including MITRE Corp., the National Security Agency, and the Forum for Incident Response and Security Teams", and that the "specifications making up SCAP are divided into languages, reporting formats, enumerations, measurement and scoring systems, and integrity protection." The author then lists the 11 SCAP components, with CCE included under Enumerations. The other MITRE initiatives listed are Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) and Common Platform Enumeration (CPE), also under Enumerations, and under Languages, Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL). The article concludes with a summary of the updates to the guidelines.

XML File for CCE Release 5.20111130 Updated

A new XML download for CCE Version 5.20111130 is now available on the CCE List page, which corrects errors in the file released on December 1, 2011. The previous XML file did not contain resource information due to an issue with our conversion process. This new file restores the metadata about each resource currently cited in the CCE List.

Please note that this is not a new release of the CCE List. It is a corrected XML representation of the canonical CCE spreadsheet for version 5.20111130. All CCE entries remain the same.

Future updates will be noted here and on the CCE Working Group email discussion list. Please send any comments or concerns to cce@mitre.org.
