Description

Related to https://github.com/posit-dev/images-shared/issues/88

To fulfill customer requests for a hardened Workbench image, we will need to scan and remediate any issues identified by OpenSCAP against our security policies and CIS benchmarks. Any steps for remediation should be included and documented in the image definition for repeatability by other end users.
