We are excited to announce significant enhancements to Forward Enterprise's security compliance capabilities with our 23.12 and 24.1 release! Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), developed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), are crucial guidelines for securing IT networks and systems. Adhering to STIGs ensures that networks meet stringent security standards, minimizing vulnerabilities and fortifying defenses against cyber threats.
In the 23.12 release, Forward Enterprise introduced over 600 STIGs-based NQE queries in the NQE Library, adding 108 new rules for Cisco devices and 98 new rules for Juniper devices. This release significantly expanded the toolkit for verifying security compliance across diverse network environments.
Building on this, the 24.1 release provides an addition of over 1,440 STIGs-based NQE queries in the NQE Library, providing full coverage of Cisco and Juniper STIGs rules. Users can now effortlessly validate network compliance and verify adherence to any supported STIG rule across their entire device fleet with just a click.
