The current Security Profile Inspector (SPI) conducts analysis of UNIX and VMS based operating system configurations to help system managers maintain secure operating environments. A broad horizontal range of security tests with a vertical array of usage options supports the needs of both novice and experienced system administrators. Its modular structure was designed to provide a foundation for distributed operation and network-wide inspection conducted from a central command host. The {open_quotes}Next Generation{close_quotes} SPI outlined should serve to promote cost-effective computer security for many years.
