Drift belongs on a racetrack, not in your Linux fleet. Especially when security is the driver.

How RLC Pro Hardened and Ascender Pro keep a fleet at its secure baseline, and prove it with a log.

You harden a server to a STIG, CIS, or NIST 800-171 baseline, sign off, and move on. Then it drifts. Every patch, package, and config change nudges a system off that baseline, and across a fleet the drift never stops. Hardening one box is the easy part. Keeping a whole fleet hardened, and proving it on demand, is the work.

This 30-minute session shows how RLC Pro Hardened and Ascender Pro do that work together. RLC Pro Hardened gives you an Enterprise Linux baseline built to STIG, CIS, and NIST 800-171. Ascender Pro runs that hardening as Ansible automation: bring a fleet up to a hardened profile in a single run, then keep it there, auditing for drift on a schedule and remediating it before it becomes a finding.

We'll keep it practical: what the automation actually does, how it fits an estate you already run, and where hardening stops and the rest of your security program picks up.

Join us August 27 at 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT.
