    What is the Benchmark?
    The Benchmark is a compilation of security configuration actions and settings that "harden" MySQL databases.  It recommends Level 1 Benchmark guidance, representing the prudent level of minimum due care for operating system security.

    Level 1 Benchmark settings/actions:

    • Can be understood and performed by system administrators with any level of security knowledge and experience;
    • Are unlikely to cause an interruption of service to the operating system or the applications that run on it; and
    • Can be automatically monitored either by CIS Scoring Tools or by CIS Certified tools available from security software vendors.  CLICK HERE for a roster of commercially available
      CIS-certified software tools.
