Security Compliance Enforcement (SCE) for Linux 2.9.0 Is Now Available # Security Compliance Enforcement (SCE) for Linux 2.9.0 Security Compliance Enforcement (SCE) for Linux 2.9.0 is now available, helping organizations extend compliance automation to more Linux environments, adopt the latest Puppet platform releases, and strengthen confidence in security policy enforcement across their infrastructure. SCE for Linux is available as part of Puppet Core and Puppet Enterprise Advanced. ## Why Upgrade? * Extend Compliance Automation to Debian 12 Organizations running Debian 12 can now bring those systems under the same automated compliance and hardening processes used across the rest of their Linux estate. This helps reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and simplify the path to ongoing audit readiness. * Adopt Puppet 9 Without Disrupting Compliance Workflows SCE for Linux 2.9.0 adds support for Puppet 9, making it easier to stay current with the latest Puppet platform updates while preserving the compliance controls and hardening policies already in place. * Improve Confidence in Enforcement and Reporting This release includes a range of reliability improvements that strengthen policy enforcement, improve operational stability, and help ensure compliance results accurately reflect the state of managed systems. Updates address issues affecting authentication hardening, logging, cryptographic controls, file integrity monitoring, time synchronization, and system boot configuration. ## Upgrade to SCE for Linux 2.9.0 To take advantage of Debian 12 support, Puppet 9 compatibility, and the latest reliability improvements, we recommend upgrading to SCE for Linux 2.9.0.
