Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Hardened to Level 1 Benchmark. Designed to accelerate your ATO process.
This image of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 has been hardened to meet Level 1 Benchmark standards. It is built for customers who require enhanced operating system security and compliance out of the box for customers in defense, federal, or commercial environments with high-security requirements. This image is pre-hardened to align with DoD STIG, Level 1 Baseline, and PCI-DSS security baselines, helping government and organizations significantly reduce time spent on manual operating system hardening. By starting from a secure, documented baseline, teams can streamline security reviews, reduce configuration risk, and accelerate their Authority to Operate (ATO) process.
