What Makes ConfigOS So Successful?

ConfigOS – Rock Solid, Simple RMF Accreditation and STIG Compliance!
A complete, easy to use software environment for creating, implementing, and remediating security policy, such as the DISA STIG and the CIS benchmarks

FastPath Policy Authoring – Accelerates RMF accreditation by hardening policy controls around an application environment in 60 minutes.
ConfigOS is a flexible Policy Signature authoring system designed to quickly and easily create/tune/extend STIG/policy controls to the requirements of a user and their application environments. Our software creates policies for secure baselines and manages STIG support for the entire STIG and application lifecycle – from pre-production/RMF/ATO through to STIG and application production remediation. The ConfigOS Builder, with FastPath, allows a customer to harden every CAT I/II/III control around an application in typically less than 60 minutes versus the days/weeks/months it takes to do it manually. Additionally, ConfigOS has remediation rollback and special functionality to “bake” STIG POAMs/waivers into its remediation process.

High Performance Scanning and Automated Remediation – The fastest, most complete STIG scanner available, and it is the “easy button” for automated STIG remediation.
ConfigOS STIG 360 manages the complete STIG lifecycle of an application environment. ConfigOS automatically “fixes” STIG policy non-compliances for Windows and Linux systems. ConfigOS can scan 3,000 to 5,000 endpoints per hour and remediate 1,000 to 3,000 endpoints per hour from a single instance of ConfigOS. Add additional instances of ConfigOS, increase capacity. SteelCloud provides tested, documented STIG content so the compliance effort is a snap!

Comprehensive Compliance Reporting – Easy to use XML compliance reporting is a strength of ConfigOS.
ConfigOS provides comprehensive enterprise and individual endpoint XML-based compliance reporting. Additionally, ConfigOS also produces XCCDF output for easy integration with STIG Viewer.

Government Use Cases – Currently operating in all of the above – physical and virtualized – connected and disconnected – private, cloud, and tactical – unclassified and classified – DoD, Federal Civilian, and Vendor.
ConfigOS is agent-less and does not require changes to endpoint application stacks or adding infrastructure – no Internet, no web servers, no database servers, no license servers, no domain controllers, no changes in Active Directory, no STIG waivers. ConfigOS effectively operates in both large and small networks, classified environments, labs, disconnected networks, tactical environments, and FedRamp clouds.

ConfigOS is easy to buy – Available on GSA and other BPAs.

How To Choose The Best Theme For My Business?

Building a beautiful website for your business begins with choosing a theme — a design that controls page layout, widget areas, and default style. Selecting Polygon for your business website can feel overwhelming, but you can make it easier by focusing on these three questions.

What Am I Publishing on My Website?
Draft a visual map of your website to help you plan your site structure and decide what you want your homepage to look like. Will your homepage contain static information about your business like a welcome message and business hours or do you want to showcase your latest blog content?

What Features Do I Need?
Are you building a restaurant website, a landing page for your hotel, a corporate blog, or something completely different? Depending on your business, you may need website features exclusive to certain themes.

What Look and Feel Do I Want for My Website?
You can filter themes by style and color if you have a specific look in mind or need to match a brand logo. While most themes can be tweaked with custom headers and background colors, Custom Design unlocks next-level customization.

Think back to the content you expect to publish on your site. Do you need a design that showcases photos? If so, choose a portfolio site or a design that makes the most of high-resolution photos. Perhaps photography plays a small role in your website design. If so, avoid themes that only look good with a lot of photos.
