Security content automation protocol (SCAP)
Security content automation protocol (SCAP)
A suite of specifications that standardize the format and nomenclature by which software flaw and security configuration information is communicated, both to machines and humans. Note: There are six individual specifications incorporated into SCAP: CVE (common vulnerabilities and exposures); CCE (common configuration enumeration); CPE (common platform enumeration); CVSS (common vulnerability scoring system); OVAL (open vulnerability assessment language); and XCCDF (eXtensible configuration checklist description format).
