ASHBURN, Va., March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SteelCloud LLC announced today that its ConfigOS STIG compliance software has been selected to automate STIG compliance for a DoD Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) program.  This contract adds to the growing number of weapon, simulator, and training system programs that have chosen SteelCloud’s ConfigOS software to automate their security and compliance requirements.

“We are seeing a significant increase in our activity around weapon systems as the focus on securing these systems has heightened,” said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud President and CEO.  “Being network and domain-independent, and requiring no agents or clients, ConfigOS is uniquely suited to the DoD’s non-traditional computing platforms.  We are excited to help another program get compliant and stay secure.”
