Are there automated tools that can process the SCAP content to assess and securely configure Windows XP and Windows Vista? If so, what does NIST recommend?
Yes, automated tools are available. NIST continues to work with product vendor, academia, not-for-profit, integrators, and the public sector to produce and refine both the standards comprising SCAP and the content provided on the SCAP website. NIST has worked with vendors who assert that they can process various standards comprising the SCAP. These tools are listed on the SCAP website at http://nvd.nist.gov/scapproducts.cfm. Such listing does not imply NIST endorsement.
