VMware Identity Manager 3.3.x STIG Readiness Guide

Introduction

In the United States Department of Defense (DoD), Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) provide technical, standards-based hardening guidance. Officially published STIGs are mandatory in the DoD and fill a crucial role in systems accreditation as part of the Risk Management Framework (RMF). VMware has worked with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) to publish many STIGs over the years and will continue to do so. More information is available in the overview document provided in the download below.

The only official reference for DISA STIGs, once approved and published, is the US Department of Defense web site at https://public.cyber.mil/stigs/

This guidance evolves. Please check back for the latest versions.

Intended Audience

The audience for the VMware Identity Manager 3.3.x DoD STIG Readiness Guide is VMware customers in the DoD needing to harden or accredit their environment. Other entities can use this guidance, however there are items that are specific to the DoD that will not be applicable to a non-DoD environment.
