AWS Directory Service expands directory security settings with STIG-aligned controls for Managed AD

AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory (AWS Managed Microsoft AD) now has expanded its security settings to include STIG-aligned configurations for high-impact security areas. These new security settings help customers meet their organizations requirements for directory-level security and compliance configurations. For regulated or security-focused customers, these settings align with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) for Windows Server and Active Directory.
