Activate Cloud Agent for PAF
Cloud Agent supports activating the Policy Audit Fix (PAF) add-on module within the Policy Audit application. The PAF module helps you identify failed controls on your assets and remediate them to meet the policy audit standards. The controls are the set of configurations that must meet the standard Policy Audit guidelines.
PAF is available only to manager and unit manager users. It is not accessible to other user roles within the Policy Audit application.
PAF offers the following benefits to protect your assets against failed controls:
- Identifies failed controls to highlight asset misconfigurations that may cause security threats.
- Uses Custom Assessment and Remediation (CAR) scripts to fix misconfigured values and remediate failed controls automatically.
- Automates failed control remediation with PAF and CAR, helping eliminate potential cyber risks.
- Remediates failed controls to help you meet policy compliance guidelines.
You must have an active Policy Audit subscription and a Cloud Agent installed on your assets to activate the PAF.
