ASHBURN, Va., Oct. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SteelCloud LLC announced today that it had received approval to offer GoldDisk Plus™ and ConfigOS™ on Amazon Web Services' AWS GovCloud (US). AWS GovCloud (US) is an isolated AWS Region designed to allow US government customers to implement sensitive applications in the cloud by addressing specific regulatory and compliance requirements. Customers requiring these additional security measures can now take advantage of SteelCloud's automated STIG policy solutions.

GoldDisk Plus allows DoD and other government customers to implement a fully STIG-compliant environment in a matter of minutes. ConfigOS will be offered in conjunction with GoldDisk Plus. ConfigOS is a revolutionary tool for automating ongoing STIG policy remediation. ConfigOS utilizes new patent-pending technology to automate the remediation of production servers using simple XML policy signatures. And, for the first time in a cloud environment, SteelCloud will make available its "Builder" technology that allows a customer to harden a system around an application in under an hour.

"We are encouraged by the recent approvals that provide government customers with the option to move a greater range of mission-critical applications to AWS," said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO. "In a just completed DoD implementation on AWS, we demonstrated that our automated STIG remediation tools dramatically accelerate the creation of a secure compliant hardened environment in less time and using fewer resources than legacy approaches. Moving our technology onto AWS GovCloud (US) is the next step in helping make the commercial cloud more accessible to security conscious government customers."

"We are enhancing our government cloud offerings by bringing leading edge technologies to our government AWS customers," said Steven Spano, GM for Worldwide Public Sector, Amazon Web Services, Inc. "We value SteelCloud's ongoing focus to help government customers increase agility and lower ongoing security maintenance costs."

GoldDisk Plus and ConfigOS are available in the AWS Marketplace and in AWS GovCloud (US). To receive more information, please go to the GoldDisk Plus offering on AWS Marketplace or contact SteelCloud for more information about the Company's offerings for AWS GovCloud (US).
