SSSC's Amazon Machine Instance (AMI) are hardened to DISA standards and updated monthly so that you can always stay up to date and secure. The SSSC AMI saves you time by offering up to date STIG hardened operating systems so that you can concentrate on your work. SSSC builds Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) approved secure environments and SSSC's instances launched into a DoD cloud environment (GovCloud) are hardened to meet DISA security to better than 90% compliance using the available DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs). STIG guidance ensures that Virtual Machines (VMs) are locked down to meet DoD environment security requirements. STIG settings are applied to the operating system and support software as needed, thereby allowing the application to run correctly and to be compliant with DoD security.
