About:
SCAP Workbench is a graphical user interface for the OpenSCAP ecosystem. It allows users to scan systems for vulnerabilities and compliance issues using SCAP content, and provides tools to tailor that content to specific needs. Its main value is simplifying complex SCAP operations, making security auditing accessible to administrators without deep command-line expertise.
Key Features:
  • Graphical scanning and remediation
  • Tailoring of SCAP content (profiles, rules, values)
  • Local and remote system scanning
  • Export of scan results in various formats (HTML, XML)
Use Cases:
  • Performing DISA STIG or CIS compliance checks on macOS/Linux systems
  • Auditing for known vulnerabilities (CVEs) using SCAP data streams
  • Customizing security profiles for specific organizational requirements
Alternatives:
  • OpenSCAP CLI – Command-line equivalent offering more automation potential but lacking the graphical interface.
  • Ansible – Focuses on configuration management and remediation rather than auditing and compliance reporting.
