[Via Satellite 10-04-13] iDirect Government Technologies (iGT), a wholly owned subsidiary of VT iDirect (iDirect), has launched its Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) hardening scripts, an improved information assurance (IA) compliance and security support for network management systems, protocol processors and SatManage servers.

Available to iGT’s premium iSupport customers, the SCAP hardening script supports secure networks by managing vulnerabilities and evaluating information assurance. SCAP hardening scripts are now available for any iGT customer operating iDX 2.3, 2.3.1, 3.0 and SatManage 5.2.
