Checklist Summary:

The Oracle MySQL 8.0 Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is published as a tool to improve the security of Department of Defense (DoD) information systems. This document is meant to be used in conjunction with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (OS) STIG, Network STIG, and other STIGs as applicable to the database host environment. It is based on the Database Security Requirements Guide (SRG) Version 2, Release 10, which derives its cybersecurity controls from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Revision 4. MySQL is a popular open source database owned by Oracle. MySQL Enterprise Edition includes a comprehensive set of advanced features, management tools, and technical support to achieve high levels of MySQL scalability, security, reliability, and uptime. It reduces the risk, cost, and complexity in developing, deploying, and managing business-critical MySQL applications. This STIG is written for use with MySQL Database version 8.0 installed on a RHEL or CENTOS environment.
