TuxCare Has a Big AlmaLinux 9 Announcement in Store
TuxCare announced it has successfully completed a Security Technical Implementation Guide for AlmaLinux OS 9.
TuxCare announced it completed a STIG for AlmaLinux 9 to usher in new opportunities for the open-source operating system that could open doors for the OS within the realm of government and other enterprise deployments that demand stringent safeguards and assurances.
Michael Canavan, Chief Revenue Officer at TuxCare for TuxCare, said in a press release, “TuxCare is pleased to play a notable role in AlmaLinux’s growth through developments such as the completion of a DISA STIG and a fast-growing number of team members devoted to FIPS for AlmaLinux and other compliance necessities.” Canavan continued to say “We’re pleased to harness our security expertise for the fast-growing AlmaLinux community that is further bolstered by these compliance milestones."
The new DISA STIG and FIPS 140-2 compliance combination is a welcome addition to many in the penetration testing and cloud service sectors and with these certifications, TuxCare can arm organizations with a much higher level of security and compliance for enterprise deployments. The new DISA STIG will also help position AlmaLinux as an attractive option for Fortune 2000 companies.
The Defense Information Systems Agency published the STIG and made it available here.
Many penetration testing companies and cloud providers that already support the AlmaLinux community will no doubt welcome this DISA STIG and FIPS 140-3 compliance combination that we previously began offering With these certifications, TuxCare arms organizations who use AlmaLinux with the higher level of security and compliance for enterprise deployments that also demand top-notch support and proven interoperability. The DISA STIG helps position AlmaLinux as a go-to option for the Fortune 2000.
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) published the STIG implementation guide as well as made the STIG downloadable. There's also a detailed blog on its FIPS 140-3 compliance offering as well.
