Linux based operating system/distributions are one of the popular and frequently used OS in enterprises due to their strong security, long term support, developer friendliness and low cost of ownership. Though devices running these OS offer inbuilt security controls, it is very important for an organisation to manage them centrally so as to be able to apply the policies and perform administrative tasks from time to time.
