DISA STIG compliance for Docker and Kubernetes with Sysdig Secure

DISA Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) are essential security frameworks aimed at ensuring systems interacting with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) are safeguarded against threats. These guides are crucial for defense contractors who handle sensitive DoD data, providing mandatory configuration standards to secure various IT systems, including Docker and Kubernetes. Compliance with DISA STIGs is vital for obtaining Authorization to Operate (ATO) for connecting to the DoD network, a process that can be complex and resource-intensive. Sysdig Secure offers a solution by providing automated compliance checks and security policies tailored for Docker and Kubernetes, thereby simplifying adherence to STIG requirements. This tool helps organizations efficiently manage compliance with a policy-as-code approach, ensuring continuous monitoring and remediation of compliance drifts, ultimately reducing the resource burden and facilitating audit preparations.
