DISA STIGs (Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guides)

DISA STIGs (Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guides) are detailed technical documents that provide best practices and security standards for configuring and maintaining information systems used by the U.S. Department of Defense. They help ensure systems are protected against threats by establishing consistent security settings, policies, and procedures. Think of STIGs as comprehensive checklists that IT teams follow to maintain a secure, reliable, and compliant environment, reducing vulnerabilities and supporting national security objectives.
