Great security and auditing resource for your network

The Center for Internet Security  has a great list of security configuration and audit guidelines.

A great resource comprised of 40+ consensus Security Configuration Benchmarks for Operating Systems, Middleware, Software Applications and Network Devices.

The Benchmarks are:

• Recommended technical control rules/values for hardening operating systems, middleware and software applications, and network devices;
• Unique, because the recommendations are defined via consensus among hundreds of security professionals worldwide;
• Downloaded approximately 1 million times per year;
• Distributed freely by CIS in .PDF format (some are available to CIS Members only in XML format via the CIS Members web site);
• Used by thousands of enterprises as the basis for security configuration policies and the de facto standard against which to compare them.
