One of a prospective customer's security analysts asks about Nutanix's security functionality.

Nutanix Security Configuration Management Automation (SCMA) reduces the effort required to assess and maintain the security of Nutanix infrastructure by automating security compliance checking and remediation. SCMA continuously monitors the configuration of Nutanix CVMs and AHV hosts against documented security baselines (e.g., STIGs). If any non-compliance is detected, SCMA automatically remediates the settings to align with the defined security standards without requiring manual intervention from administrators. This ensures that the cluster remains compliant with security policies throughout its lifecycle, thereby significantly reducing the effort and overhead associated with security management.
