AlmaLinux Now Has a DOD Guide for Security Hardening the Distro as Much as You Want
Quoting: AlmaLinux Now Has a DOD Guide for Security Hardening the Distro as Much as You Want - FOSS Force —
There’s another feather in the cap for the folks at AlmaLinux. Today the TuxCare division of CloudLinux — the company behind AlmaLinux — announced that it’s completed a Security Technical Implementation Guide, generally called a STIG, for AlmaLinux OS 9. Doing so puts the distro in a Department of Justice security class only shared by 13 versions of seven other operating systems or Linux distros.
In case you’re wondering, a STIG is basically a set of security configurations for using a product (which can be anything from an operating system to hardware to software to whatever) within the US Department of Defense and its associated networks. In other words, by using the STIG — which is downloadable from the DOD here — you can make your AlmaLinux installs as security hardened as you like.
