Security Best Practices

When using LASS:

  1. Run with least privilege: Only use root when necessary
  2. Protect reports: Scan results contain sensitive information
  3. Secure baselines: Baseline files may reveal security posture
  4. Audit regularly: Run scans periodically, not just once
  5. Update frequently: Keep LASS updated for latest checks

Known Limitations

LASS is a detection tool, not a prevention tool:

  • Cannot block attacks
  • May miss sophisticated threats
  • Results require human interpretation
  • Some checks need root for full visibility
