Like you, cyber criminals and bad actors are hard at work developing their technology, and they’re laser-focused on discovering new ways to infiltrate and exploit your organization. Modern operating systems (OS) and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) networking equipment have come a long way in terms of security, but none are secure out of the box. And especially not to the exacting standards maintained by Department of Defense (DoD) commands, agencies, and contractors.
Are you prepared to defend your organization?
DISA’s configuration standards — known as Security Technical Implementation Guides or STIGs — provide a way to make systems comprised of COTS equipment and operating systems infinitely more secure. But it’s also a time-consuming, and incredibly manual process. Hardening, documentation, and monitoring take tons of hours, making the effort not only tedious and time-consuming, but costly as well.
In this article, we’ll introduce you to the Atlas STIG Compliance application, which makes monitoring, reporting, and documentation push-button simple, reducing what used to be days of work to just minutes. Atlas could save you thousands of hours of effort and millions in STIG-compliance related costs.

Due to the nature of the work, and the ever-changing requirements, it’s easy to miss items that could cost your organization during an audit or, even worse, a cyberattack. Atlas STIG Compliance allows you to bulk update STIG checklists within the Splunk UI to reduce manual editing of STIG checklists, and continuously collect STIG Compliance data from multiple sources to prepare for an audit or for continuous compliance monitoringAutomate STIG remediation with included automation modules.
Don’t risk non-compliance. Utilizing industry-standard automation technology from Puppet, Atlas customers can enforce automated remediation and checklist generation via included Puppet modules, shaving thousands of hours of remediation and documentation effort — and all the costs associated with those efforts.The stakes are high
With Atlas STIG Compliance, you never have to risk non-compliance (or getting shut down… or losing funding…) again. Leading the way into the future requires being on the front-end of adapting game-changing technology. Automation is more than a buzzword — it’s a necessity to maintain your sanity, your budget, and your mission in an increasingly complex compliance landscape. Ready to learn more?
