Madarson IT Hardened VM Image Intro
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening. This AWS-based ec2 comes pre-configured with the latest Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image that is optimized for security, featuring advanced hardening measures to help protect against vulnerabilities and to help ensure compliance with DISA STIG best practices. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) Benchmarks are a comprehensive set of cybersecurity standards aimed at enhancing the security of information systems within the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies. These benchmarks provide detailed guidance on configuring and managing systems, networks, and software to ensure they meet stringent security requirements. By adhering to STIGs, organizations can mitigate vulnerabilities, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure compliance with government security policies. STIGs are essential for maintaining the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of critical systems and data in environments that demand the highest level of security.
Key Features Ensure Compliance with Security Standards: DISA STIGs aim to ensure that systems, networks, and applications comply with stringent security standards and policies mandated by the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies. This helps maintain a consistent and robust security posture across all information systems. Mitigate Security Risks and Vulnerabilities: STIGs provide specific configuration guidelines and best practices designed to minimize vulnerabilities and protect against potential cyber threats. By following STIGs, organizations can reduce the risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. Why use Madarson IT Ubuntu 22.04 LTS images? Madarson IT certified images are always up to date, secure, follow industry standards, and are built to work right out of the box.
Highlights
- Standardized Security Configuration: STIGs provide detailed configuration guidelines to secure a wide range of technologies, including operating systems, cloud platforms, databases, and network devices. These standards ensure that systems are hardened against vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of attack.
- Compliance and Auditing: STIGs are critical for compliance with DoD cybersecurity policies. Organizations must regularly assess systems against STIG benchmarks to maintain their Authority to Operate (ATO), ensuring that they meet federal security requirements like the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
- Continuous Updates and Automation: DISA regularly updates STIGs to reflect new vulnerabilities and evolving cybersecurity threats. Automation tools, such as SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) and Ansible STIG roles, help organizations efficiently apply and monitor STIG compliance across systems.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for this hardened Ubuntu 22.04 image, billed per running instance. Pricing scales with the EC2 instance type you choose. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size across families: general purpose (t2, t3, m1–m5), compute optimized (c1, c3, c4, c5, c5a), memory optimized (r3, r4, r5, m2), storage optimized (d2, d3, i3), and GPU or accelerated (g5, p2, p3). Larger instances within a family carry higher hourly rates. You select the instance that fits your compute, memory, or GPU needs and pay only for hours used.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Hourly charges apply only while an instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance stops accruing the software fee. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the hourly software rate meters running time only.
One hour equals one running instance for one clock hour. Each dimension is a specific EC2 instance type with its own hourly rate. Larger instances in a family cost more per hour because they carry more compute, memory, or GPU resources. You are billed per instance running.
The image is hardened to DISA STIG benchmarks, as named in the listing. The vendor also aligns hardened images with payment card, healthcare privacy, and federal cybersecurity control frameworks. These configurations aim to reduce audit preparation time across all instance types you deploy.
