The Nozomi Networks platform helps DoD, contractors, and federal agencies automate DISA STIG compliance checks in distributed OT environments by consolidating proof of compliance and centrally tracking changes over time.
Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) are security configuration guides developed and maintained by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) systems. They translate broader cybersecurity requirements into specific, product-level configuration checks for operating systems, applications, network devices and other technologies, helping organizations implement and assess applicable requirements within the DoD Risk Management Framework and NIST SP 800-53 control structure.
STIGs are relevant for DoD components, defense industrial base (DIB) organizations, system integrators and service providers supporting DoD environments, and other environments that use DoD security baselines.
While STIGS primarily target IT systems, OT systems that run on Windows, Linux, macOS and other IT components are subject to STIG compliance. In DoD environments, the challenge is applying and validating detailed configuration requirements consistently across distributed and operationally sensitive OT assets and cyber-physical systems.
Operational Continuity
Explicitly accounts for safety and reliability as primary constraints in design and deployment.
Risk Reduction
Mitigates threats that could lead to outages, environmental hazard or compromised mission execution.
Interoperability
Ensures safe integration with enterprise IT security tools to improve readiness and reduce blind spots.
Future-proofing
Provides a scalable architecture that reduces technical debt and prevents fragmentation.
Nozomi Arc sensors automate DISA STIG compliance in distributed OT environments by assessing Windows-, Linux- and macOS-based OT endpoint security configurations against benchmarks, consolidating proof of compliance and centrally tracking changes over time on premises and in Vantage or Vantage for Government, our FedRAMP® Class C (Moderate) SaaS platform.

Get Accurate Configuration Data
Collect the host-level configuration data needed to assess DISA STIG checks across OT endpoints and send the results into centralized security and compliance workflows.
Manage Benchmarks, Create Policies, Schedule Assessments
Automatically receive updated DISA STIG benchmarks, or upload benchmark files when needed. Create policies, assign them to relevant assets and schedule repeatable assessments from one centralized workflow.
Centralized Configuration Posture
See your DISA STIG configuration assessment posture at-a-glance across benchmarks, policies, scans and assets. Quickly identify failed assessments, view trends over time and focus on the areas that need attention.
Rule-level Findings
Drill into individual DISA STIG checks to understand what failed and why and apply specific remediation guidance.
Future-proofing
View configuration assessment results within asset profiles alongside identity, vulnerabilities, risk, and other security information.
