| Abstract | Security baseline hardening is a baseline configuration framework aims to improve the robustness of the operating system, lowering the risk and impact of breach incidents. In typical best practice, the security baseline hardening requires to have regular check and follow-up to keep the system in-check, this set of activities are called "Security Baseline Audit". The Security Baseline Audit process is responsible by the IT department. In terms of business, this process consumes a fair number of resources such as man-hour, time, and technical knowledge. In a huge production environment, the resources mentioned can be multiplied by the system's amount in the production environment. This research proposes improving the process with automation while maintaining the quality and security level at the standard. Robot Framework, a useful and flexible opensource automation framework, is being utilized in this research following with a very successful result where the configuration is aligned with CIS (Center for Internet Security) run by the automation process. A tremendous amount of time and process are decreased while the configuration is according to this tool's standard. |
