No problem. Happy to share information when I can. The process DISA
follows is to publish the manual STIG and then follow that up with the
benchmark. Modifications after that should come out quarterly as needed.

Thank you for the update Ted. That had been my expectation, so
it's good
to hear it confirmed. I figured it was just a matter of time because the
first revision of the RHEL 7 STIG was only released in March earlier this
year. I assume that DISA does something similar for the RHEL 6 content
because I occasionally see SSG referenced in the Revision History for RHEL
6 STIG updates.

We are making progress. Still waiting to hear back on a couple of issues,
but progress is being made.
For others that may not know of the effort that Shawn eluded to.. I work
closely with DISA in my role at Red Hat. We have a goal to eventually,
align the SSG and STIG content. The benefit of everyone is that if you use
SSG to do something like lock down the OS while it is being provisioned, or
to periodically scan a system from Satellite server, the results of those
scan will be identical to a scan using ACAS. The end result is a security
posture that is much easier to maintain and a great chance that any
configuration drift will not occur.

Nice! Thanks Ted! Great to hear they've changed their minds. Would
be
*fantastic* to bring DISA back into the fold of what DoD, NIST,
NSA, the
community, and Red Hat are doing on STIG work!
How goes the work with DISA to align their content to the DoD
recommended settings?
