Compliance-as-Code in IT Asset Configuration Management for Better Security and Seamless Audits
Compliance Automation Across Heterogeneous IT Resource Fleet
Chef Desktop Compliance is an automation solution that helps manage configuration changes while ensuring security and compliance across the entire IT resource fleet of desktops, laptops, and kiosks centrally. Managing security and compliance through traditional approaches is nearly impossible, with few opportunities to enforce policy consistently, inefficient and ineffective audits, and no easy way to gauge risk. With Chef, use the compliance-as-code approach to codify your fleet’s security and compliance needs, run continuous audits, and remediates issues, all through automation.
