STIG overview for Access Appliance
The Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) provide technical guidance for increasing the security of information systems and software to help prevent malicious computer attacks. This type of security is also referred to as hardening.
In version 8.6, you can enable OS STIG hardening rules for increased security. These rules are based on the following profile from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA):
STIG for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Security Technical Implementation Guide - Version 1, Release 10
The STIG option is enabled at cluster level. If the STIG option is enabled, the STIG rules are enforced on both the nodes in a cluster.
The Access Appliance also supports DISA's Application Security and Development STIG Version 5, Release 3. The STIG rule lists are available in separate documents on the Veritas Support site. Two checklists are currently available, one for the OS and one for Application Security and Development STIG. The checklists are under the section on the Access Appliance OS page of the Veritas Download Center.
