This is a repackaged open source software product wherein charges are associated for hardening.
Armorbytes Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image is pre-configured to align with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) requirements. Armorbyte is not affiliated with or endorsed by DISA; references are for standard alignment only. The image applies STIG-mapped configurations, secure boot, minimized services, audit logging, and automated patching to satisfy stringent DoD security controls.
The baseline maps to the NIST CSF, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other frameworks, giving teams a proven starting point toward compliance without the usual DIY effort.
Key features: . Aligned with DISA STIG guidance for Ubuntu. . Secure boot, minimized services, and auditd logging enabled. . Continuous patching via unattended-upgrades. . SSH hardened: key-only auth & modern ciphers. . Cloud-init scripts let you extend or roll back STIG controls.
Why choose Armorbyte? Armorbyte images are continuously rebuilt, vulnerability-scanned, and cryptographically signed. Every build is regression-tested so it just works the first time you launch.
Highlights
- This hardened image map to many established standards and regulatory frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), the ISO 27000 series of standards, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and others.
- Armorbytes baseline reduces mean-time-to-secure by providing opinionated defaults, audit-ready logs, and automated patching.
