Business Wire
VMware Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced that the Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA) has added the Security Technical
Implementation Guide (STIG) for VMware NSX® to the Department of
Defense (DoD) Cyber Exchange.
The updated DISA STIG outlines the installation requirements,
security policies and controls for deploying VMware NSX within the
Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The STIG will
also help provide a vetted, more secure baseline for non-DoD
entities to measure their security posture.
“Across the public sector, agencies are navigating accelerated
innovation alongside the journey to Zero Trust security,” said
Jennifer Chronis, vice president, public sector, VMware. “As the
threat landscape evolves, the release of DISA's STIG for VMware NSX
will empower agencies to leverage VMware's advanced network
virtualization and security platform to better protect and manage
their multi-cloud environments. With VMware NSX, we are helping
customers modernize their cloud networks to deliver apps faster
while also protecting against today’s threats.”
The STIG requirements confirm VMware NSX implementation is
consistent with DoD cybersecurity policies, standards,
architectures, security controls and validation procedures, when
applicable NIST SP 800-53 cybersecurity controls are applied to all
systems and architectures. The DISA STIG for VMware NSX provides
guidance on configuring various components of an NSX environment,
including the NSX Manager, Gateway Router, Distributed Firewall,
and Gateway Firewall.
The latest version of NSX joins VMware vSphere and VMware vSAN
for which DISA has previously released STIGs. To view the official
STIG, visit the DoD Cyber Exchange Public website and view the STIG
release memo for VMware NSX.
Multi‑Cloud for Mission Success
Earlier this month, VMware announced the findings of a study on
how government agencies are scaling the use of multi-cloud
environments. The study, titled “Multi-cloud Is The New Frontier Of
Government IT," conducted by Forrester Consulting, found that while
the move to multi-cloud is a priority, agencies face challenges in
supporting growing cloud environments, including compliance
standards, data security and upskilling employees. The full study,
complete with recommendations for a ‘cloud-smart’ and secure
approach to the multi-cloud era can be downloaded here.
