STIG overview for NetBackup Flex Scale

The Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) provides 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.

NetBackup Flex Scale uses STIG to meet security requirements as per the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) profile:

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 all the nodes in a cluster.

NetBackup Flex Scale also supports DISA's Application Security and Development STIG Version 5, Release 3.
