Talking Tech: Simplifying STIG Compliance with Unified Automation
The U.S. Department of Defense uses security standards that are set forth in its Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) to help protect its systems and networks.
By implementing unified automation, which integrates automated tools with the STIG standards, DoD can improve system-level control compliance throughout the software lifecycle. From reduced timelines and improved reliability to sustainable ATO processes, unified STIG automation is a game-changer for organizations who have too many cybersecurity demands and too few people to implement them efficiently. Implementing this unified automation approach can:
- Enable continuous monitoring and remediation
- Bridge organizational silos
- Reduce hardening timelines by up to 95% while eliminating errors
Learning Objectives:
- Identify ways to make your risk management framework/authorization to operate workflows significantly more efficient
- Delineate the steps to simplify preparations for Joint Cyber Implementation Program (JCIP) audits and cyber operational readiness assessments (CORAs)
- Outline the metrics to measure process improvements and reduce errors
