The Best Partnerships Make It Look Easy

Make Cybersecurity EASY with ConfigOS. 

ConfigOS is SteelCloud’s patented compliance software. ConfigOS hardens around the application stack to create a secure baseline implementation of any given policy to make it work in your operational or application environment.

ConfigOS softwared automation tool is the most trusted and proven cybersecurity in the DoD. Our automation tool delivers unrivaled velocity and agility. Let’s dive into a few ways ConfigOS can simplify your cybersecurity life.

TRUST

With Zero, everything needs to prove itself. That means ingesting, hardening around an app stack, remediating, and reporting what is happening during and after authentication. Zero Trust grants no implicit trust to assets or user accounts based solely on their physical or network location (i.e., local area networks versus the Internet) or  asset ownership (enterprise or personally owned). Traditional perimeter security models build walls between trusted and untrusted sources. It is more important than ever to embrace continuous deployment and management strategies such as containerization, automation, and shifting left that identify and secures access management.

ConfigOS reduces the time and effort of implementing all the controls needed for Zero Trust by 90%. In addition, automating your STIG compliance with ConfigOS can simplify the hardening process at the perimeter, provide 24/7/365 reporting and remediation and help you double down on cybersecurity when using the Zero Trust approach.

VELOCITY

When you create a partnership with automation, you can harden with a velocity that cannot occur by human hands alone. As a result, you will achieve authority to operate (ATO) faster.  You’ll make fewer errors, generate reports more quickly and save significantly on hardening costs when you automate.  Automation will become your best employee – it never misses a beat and is always accurate!

The market for cybersecurity professionals is horrible. In 2021, there were 716,000 in the cyber workforce. And we began that year with a shortfall of 314,000 workers. The situation is dire and growing worse as commercial organizations increasingly fall prey to cybercriminals. Staffing up is not an option. If organizations want a more robust security posture, they need a more robust security partner—automation.

Speed matters. You need to move faster than hackers evolve to protect your data. And it’s just getting more and more dangerous out there for system vulnerabilities. So, if you’re not locked down, it’s more a question of “when” rather than “if.” ConfigOS has been repeatedly proven to save 90% of the effort and 70% of the costs of system hardening. It pays for itself from the very first use.

AGILITY

eMASS, or the Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service, was developed by the DoD, in part, as a repository that unites technical/machine data generated from endpoint scans with the human/non-technical data documented by security/IA personnel.  Traditionally the “uniting” process is accomplished by completing a STIG Viewer Checklist for each policy for each endpoint.  So, a 1000 workstation environment could easily generate 10,000 individual checklist files or more—hard to be agile when inundated with so much manual work.

Over the past year, SteelCloud has worked with its military customers and DISA to reinvent the cumbersome effort necessary to complete and load STIG Viewer Checklist data into eMASS. This new digital transformation automates the integration of documentation, manual, and control exceptions with machine controls to create fully populated checklists in bulk.

ConfigOS alleviates multiple pain points with one tool.

Trust the proven power and speed of ConfigOS compliance automation, and let’s make cybersecurity easy, together!
