SteelCloud Expands Linux STIG Support to Ubuntu, SUSE, and Oracle Linux

ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SteelCloud LLC announced today that it has enhanced ConfigOS, its patented STIG remediation software, to support the newly released Ubuntu, SUSE, and Oracle Linux STIGs.  These new supported platforms bolster the product's existing Red Hat Linux automated STIG remediation capabilities.  The expanded ConfigOS Linux security content will be provided to new and existing customers at no additional charge.

"ConfigOS now has automated STIG support for every version of Linux that has a published DISA STIG," said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO.  "Our customers depend on us to keep them current by supporting the newest STIGs.  It is all about choice and we want to make sure that we give our customers the ability to efficiently deploy and support the compliant platforms most appropriate for their missions.  ConfigOS is very compelling in that a single instance of the software automates STIG remediation across all versions of Linux and Windows in a single pass."

ConfigOS is currently implemented in classified and unclassified environments, tactical programs, disconnected labs, and the AWS commercial cloud.  ConfigOS is client-less technology, requiring no software agents.  ConfigOS scans endpoint systems and remediates hundreds of STIG controls in under in under 90 seconds.  Automated remediation rollback as well as comprehensive compliance reporting and STIG Viewer XCCDF output are provided.  ConfigOS was designed to harden every CAT 1/2/3 STIG control around an application baseline in 60 minutes - typically eliminating weeks or months from the RMF accreditation timeline.  ConfigOS automates the incorporation of documented policy waivers to ensure flawless automated STIG remediation and compliance reporting.

In addition to commercial versions of Linux, ConfigOS also addresses CentOS and Microsoft workstation and server operating systems together with Windows applications such as SQL, IIS, IE, Chrome, and all of the Microsoft Office components including Office 2016.  ConfigOS remediates all user profiles in a single pass, providing significant benefits when transitioning to Windows 10.
