<p>I chat with Aaron Lippold, creator of MITRE's Security Automation Framework (SAF), to discuss how to escape the pain of manual STIG compliance. We explore the technical details of open-source tools like InSpec, Heimdall, and Vulcan that automate validation, normalize diverse security data, and streamline the entire security authoring process.</p> <p>The show notes and blog post for this episode can be found at <a href= "https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/2025-06-stig-automation-aaron-lippold/"> https://opensourcesecurity.io/2025/2025-06-stig-automation-aaron-lippold/</a></p>

Hobbyist Maintainers with Thomas DePierre

Open Source Security is a media project to help showcase and educate on open source security. Our goal is to give the community a platform educate both developers and users on how open source security works.

There's a lot of good work happening that doesn't get attention because there's no marketing department behind it, they don't have a developer relations team posting on LinkedIn every two hours. Let's focus on those people and teams then learn what they do and how they do it. The goal is to hear from the people doing the work, they know what's up, they have a lot to teach us. We just have to listen.
