DISA STIG Hardened Oracle Linux 10 for Government and DoD Workloads

The Sedetos Hardened Oracle Linux 10 for DISA STIG image provides a secure, pre-configured Linux environment designed for federal, defense, and regulated organizations deploying workloads in Microsoft Azure. Built on Oracle Linux 10 and aligned with DISA Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) security controls, this image delivers a hardened baseline to support secure cloud operations, risk reduction, and compliance validation efforts.

This image is designed to help organizations accelerate system hardening, streamline security assessments, and support Authority to Operate (ATO) workflows in environments such as FedRAMP Moderate/High and DoD Impact Levels (IL4 / IL5).

DISA STIG-Aligned Security Hardening

The operating system is configured in alignment with DISA STIG security guidance to enforce strict security controls and reduce system vulnerabilities.

• Strong authentication policies and secure account configuration aligned with federal standards.
• Hardened SSH configuration and restricted remote administrative access.
• System auditing and logging configurations to support monitoring, incident response, and forensic investigations.
• File system protections and permission enforcement to safeguard sensitive data.
• Reduced attack surface through removal or restriction of unnecessary services.

Designed to Accelerate ATO and Security Reviews

Federal and defense environments require detailed documentation and validated security configurations to achieve Authority to Operate (ATO). This image provides a hardened baseline and pre-generated evidence to reduce manual effort during security assessments and authorization processes.

• Reduces manual operating system hardening and configuration overhead.
• Provides baseline evidence to support DISA STIG control validation.
• Enables reuse of standardized hardened configurations across environments.
• Supports integration with automated compliance scanning and monitoring tools.
• Improves transparency for ISSOs, auditors, and security reviewers.

Supports DevSecOps and Continuous Authorization (cATO)

Modern federal cloud environments are adopting continuous authorization models. This image supports DevSecOps practices by providing a consistent hardened baseline and machine-readable compliance artifacts that integrate into automated security validation and continuous monitoring workflows.

• Enables integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated security validation.
• Supports continuous monitoring and compliance automation.
• Helps identify and remediate vulnerabilities earlier in the lifecycle.
• Provides transparency into system components through SBOM artifacts.

Oracle Linux 10 Platform for Secure Government Workloads

Oracle Linux 10 provides a stable, enterprise-grade operating system designed for performance, scalability, and reliability. When combined with DISA STIG hardening, it provides a trusted foundation for secure deployment in federal, defense, and regulated cloud environments.

Intended Compliance Scope

This image is configured to align with DISA STIG security controls and includes supporting compliance artifacts to assist with security and authorization workflows. It does not represent official DISA certification, FedRAMP authorization, or DoD approval. Final Authority to Operate decisions remain the responsibility of the customer and their authorizing officials.
