Service Overview

The Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) Compliance Service enables organizations to adapt rapidly, gaining the agility, resiliency, and security needed to support their missions. By ensuring compliance of network infrastructure, the service protects critical platforms with simplicity and efficiency.

 

Service Description

Today, US government agencies manually audit their networks against Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) device by device. To improve efficiency, Juniper has developed a service that validates the network configuration against current STIG files and flags out-of-compliance devices so they can be remediated. This service greatly reduces the effort and likelihood of human error when updating critical infrastructure for compliance.

According to DISA, STIGs “are the configuration standards for DOD [information assurance, or IA] and IA-enabled devices/systems…The STIGs contain technical guidance to ‘lock down’ information systems/software that might otherwise be vulnerable to a malicious computer attack.” STIG requirements are comprehensive and include mobile devices, operating systems, cloud networks, and applications. Requirements cover all areas of device or software configuration to achieve secure integration while also focusing on the security of the systems to prevent breaches or cybersecurity incidents.

Compliance-based operations require a repeatable and efficient process that provides on-demand access, flexible expansion, and reliable, accurate evaluation of systems to identify vulnerabilities. IT teams often face limited resources as they focus on the manual adherence to the application of policies and guidelines that are constantly changing, while also having to understand the impacts to an unlimited product set. Organizations need a solution focused on removing the manual and time-consuming work of a task that can miss potential vulnerabilities in the network and decrease the security posture for the organization.

Juniper Networks® Security Technical Implementation Guides Compliance Service relies on a Juniper platform to transform the traditional ways of compliance scanning and remediation. The result is an automated approach that gives organizations an agile, secure, and expandable capability to bring operational efficiency to the required standards set forth by DISA and the Department of Defense (DOD).

The service also enables organizations to adapt rapidly, providing the agility, resiliency, and security needed to protect critical infrastructure with unprecedented simplicity and operational efficiency. With this awareness, network operators can quickly evaluate network compliance as new threats arise, even during rapidly changing network conditions.

 

Architecture and Key Service Components

All STIG code resides within a customer’s private repository. Juniper® Professional Services provides for the maintenance of STIG library, bug fixes, new STIG updates from DISA, ATOM text editor support (if used), and open-source tooling updates.
