Drata evidence syncing support Linux's evidence

The key features are as follows:

  • Summary: The issue involves the failure to send OS update and screensaver lock evidence to Drata, specifically for Linux devices, as requested by Mysa.

  • New Evidence Types: The ticket involves supporting new evidence types for Linux devices:

    • LINUX SOFTWARE_UPDATE POLICY => AUTO_UPDATES_EVIDENCE

    • LINUX SCREENSAVER POLICY => LOCK_SCREEN_EVIDENCE

    • LINUX APPLICATION BLOCK POLICY => APPLICATION_BLOCK_EVIDENCE

  • Missing Evidence: Initially, only HARD_DRIVE_ENCRYPTION_EVIDENCE and PASSWORD_MANAGER_EVIDENCE were being sent. The OS update and Screensaver lock evidence were not being sent.

In summary, this feature addresses a high-priority bug related to the Drata integration, specifically concerning the failure to send certain evidence types for Linux devices.
