Welcome

Welcome to the SteelHead Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs). This guide functions as a user’s guide to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Riverbed SteelHead v8 ALG and NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG), Release: 1 Benchmark Date: 30 Nov 2015.

The STIGs are tools to improve the security of Department of Defense (DoD) information systems. The requirements are derived from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-53 and related documents.

You can obtain the SteelHead STIG from the DoD Cyber Exchange website at http://public.cyber.mil/stigs. This site contains the latest copies of the STIGs, Security Requirement Guides (SRG), and other related security information.

This guide is written for storage and network administrators who are familiar with administering and managing WANs using common network protocols such as TCP, CIFS, HTTP, FTP, and NFS.
