Checklist Summary:

A core mission for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Field Security Operations (FSO) is to aid in securing Department of Defense (DoD) Networks. The processes and procedures outlined in this Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG), when applied, will decrease the vulnerability of DoD sensitive information. Network Security is clearly still one of the biggest concerns for our DoD customers (i.e., the warfighter). The intent of the Network Infrastructure STIG is to include security considerations at the network level needed to provide an acceptable level of risk for information as it is transmitted throughout an enclave. This STIG has been developed to enhance the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive DoD Automated Information Systems (AIS). Each site network/communications infrastructure must provide secure, available, and reliable data for all customers. This document is designed to supplement the security guidance provided by DoD-specific requirements. This document will assist sites in meeting the minimum requirements, standards, controls, and options that must be in place for secure network operations.

Target Audience:
