What is DISA-STIG?

The Defense Information System Agency (DISA) is a US Department of Defense combat support agency. It provides and operates information infrastructure to support military operations and national-level leadership. The Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is a configuration standard consisting of guidelines for hardening systems and applications to improve their security posture and reduce the attack surface. Administrators can apply the STIG guidelines and demonstrate to auditors that the system is mission ready.
