SteelCloud LLC, a security technical implementation guide (STIG) and CIS cyber compliance software developer, has announced its ConfigOS technology has been licensed to a major US energy company to secure nuclear power critical assets.

According to the company, its software will be used to harden assets using the STIG system-level controls. The initial implementation will be deployed to support the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) security framework.

SteelCloud says its ConfigOS agent-less architecture provides benefits to critical infrastructure operators because it performs cyber work without the need to load software on the assets that it secures.

“Protecting critical infrastructure is increasingly becoming a top priority for government regulators due to the potential impact of potential breaches,” said Brian Hajost, SteelCloud Chief Operating Officer.

“Our years of experience in classified environments and weapon systems positions us to be a valuable resource to security-focused utility companies. Our ConfigOS automation software effectively and efficiently keeps organizations compliant with the industry-standard STIG controls and CIS Benchmarks.”
