Security administrators rely on predefined best practice checks that align with industry standards, such as CIS (Center for Internet Security) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). However, the rigidity of applying these checks globally often forces you to manually bypass or ignore critical security findings for specific operational exceptions, risking compliance and increasing administrative overhead.

Strata Cloud Manager now addresses this by supporting real-time inline check exemptions. Exemptions allow you to restrict where security checks are applied within your deployment, rather than requiring you to disable the checks entirely. This capability ensures you maintain a robust global security posture while flexibly accommodating specific organizational needs. Additionally, essential check information is now delivered in a consolidated, contextual view, simplifying your configuration evaluation workflow and allowing you to balance security enforcement with operational efficiency.
