Description: Lynis Audit is a security assessment process that uses the Lynis tool to analyze the security of Unix and Linux-based operating systems as well as other Unix-like systems. This open-source tool focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and areas for improvement in system security. Lynis performs a thorough scan of the system, reviewing security configurations, file permissions, running services, and other critical aspects that can affect data integrity and confidentiality. Upon completion of the analysis, Lynis provides a detailed report that includes specific recommendations for strengthening system security. This audit is especially relevant in business environments where data protection and compliance with security regulations are essential. The ease of use of Lynis, along with its ability to integrate into DevOps and CI/CD processes, makes it a valuable tool for system administrators and cybersecurity professionals looking to keep their systems secure and updated against emerging threats.
