PROFILE

Edgar Aguilar

Worked extensively on the ComplianceAsCode/content repository, delivering security compliance automation and hardening for Oracle Linux platforms. Developed and maintained XCCDF and STIG profiles, aligning them with evolving DISA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ANSSI standards while refining audit, SSH, and firewall configurations. Leveraged Python, YAML, and Shell scripting to implement profile management, OVAL policy formalization, and automated testing, ensuring accurate, maintainable compliance baselines. Enhanced auditd resilience, improved packaging consistency, and expanded architecture-specific coverage, reducing manual intervention and audit noise. The work emphasized idempotent configuration, robust documentation, and reliable CI feedback, supporting secure, standardized deployments across multiple Oracle Linux versions.
