Ask HN: Automating server security/patches

5 points by maverhick ↗ HN
Hello guys,

We run a cluster of servers, mostly ubuntu. Are there automated tools for running security commands/checks/scans that you use on a regular basis to manage and keep your servers updated?

Are there any other specific sites/communities to refer to on these subjects?

Thanks

Puppet or Cfengine to actually run the updates on the machines. Then you can run a vulnerability checker, such as nessus, to verify that the updates are installed.
