ASHBURN, Va., Nov. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- SteelCloud LLC announced today the introduction of its ConfigOS STIG compliance solution for the automated remediation of Red Hat Linux systems. This newest version of its ConfigOS IA automation tool was developed with a "zero-client" architecture. All policy remediation activities can be performed across the customer's network without the need to load a client on the target Red Hat Linux systems. Initially released with STIG signatures, ConfigOS for Red Hat Linux can easily conform to the security policies of any government or commercial enterprise.

ConfigOS is a revolutionary tool for automating ongoing STIG policy remediation for Microsoft Windows and Linux environments. ConfigOS utilizes new patent-pending technology to automate the remediation of production servers using simple, but secure XML policy signatures. SteelCloud's ConfigOS "Builder" technology automates the hardening of a system around an application in under an hour. ConfigOS has been designed to use with physical, virtualized, and cloud infrastructures.

"We have gained significant insight into the customer requirements for STIG remediation over the past six years," said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO. "By reducing weeks of tedious security work to a matter of minutes, ConfigOS is able to meet the government's stringent security standards at a much lower cost. With the addition of Linux support, ConfigOS can now automate and simplify ongoing STIG compliance for the entire enterprise."

ConfigOS is available on GSA and other BPAs. To receive more information, please contact SteelCloud or visit the Company's web site at http://www.steelcloud.com. Video demonstrations of ConfigOS STIG remediation for Windows and Red Hat Linux are also available on its website at About Us.
