ConfigOS to Automate STIG Remediation for Major DoD Weapon Systems Lab

ASHBURN, Va., Feb. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SteelCloud LLC announced today that its patented ConfigOS automated remediation tool has been selected by a major systems integrator, after a successful evaluation pilot, to accelerate the implementation of STIG compliance at a major DoD weapon systems lab for both classified and unclassified infrastructures.  The time and labor reductions and ability to address ongoing STIG compliance were some of the more critical selection criteria.  ConfigOS reduces the initial STIG hardening effort by more than 90% while providing ongoing STIG compliance cost savings of up to 70%.

"DoD labs pose some of the biggest challenges for any security software vendor," said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO.  "Our years of DoD experience has provided us with the understanding necessary to design products for complex connected and disconnected environments comprising thousands of endpoints in multiple networks, locations, and domains.  Additionally, unlike many security technologies, ConfigOS can be installed in a day, proven in a week, and put into production with concrete compliance results in a month - paying for itself the first time it is used."

ConfigOS is clientless technology, requiring that no software agents be loaded on endpoints.  ConfigOS scans Windows and Linux systems for hundreds of STIG controls in under 60 seconds and remediates a system in less than two minutes.  Logging and comprehensive compliance reporting are automatically produced by the tool.  A single instance of ConfigOS will remediate between one and three thousand endpoints per hour.  At this performance level, ConfigOS allows clients to remediate every endpoint, every day.  ConfigOS supports the very latest security guidance provided by DISA, including Microsoft Windows 10.
