This article announces the availability of the first IBM Aspera Platform Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) released by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).
DISA manages the process of validating secure configurations for commercial software widely used by DoD agencies to assist customers in secure system implementation. This process results in a Security Technical Implementation Guide or STIG. DISA’s goal in this work is the protection of DoD networks and IT assets from threats to cybersecurity. All Aspera customers with Federal compliance requirements can benefit from DISA's assessment of the Aspera solution.
DISA announced the availability of the first STIG for Aspera. IBM Aspera Platform 4.2 STIG provides a recommended secure configuration for multiple IBM Aspera Enterprise components including:
IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server versions 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4
IBM Aspera Shares versions 1.9, 1.10
IBM Aspera Faspex version 4.4
IBM Aspera Console version 3.4
The STIG also includes the IBM Aspera Endpoint offering, the IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Endpoint versions 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4
Implement the STIG on the latest releases of these software products to benefit from all of the software features and fixes released by IBM.
The Defense Information Systems Agency announcement for this release can be found at https://public.cyber.mil/announcement/disa-releases-the-ibm-aspera-platform-4-2-security-technical-implementation-guide. Customers with a Common Access Card (CAC) can obtain the STIG contents at https://cyber.mil/stigs/downloads.
