NSA releases Linux-based open source infosec tool (ITNews)
ITNews reports
that the US National Security Agency is in the process of releasing its
systems integrity management platform - SIMP. "SIMP helps to keep networked systems compliant with security standards, the NSA said, and should form part of a layered, "defence-in-depth" approach to information security.

NSA said it released the tool to avoid duplication after US government
departments and other groups tried to replicate the product in order to
meet compliance requirements set by US Defence and intelligence
bodies." Currently only RHEL and CentOS versions 6.6 and 7.1 are supported.
