[Verse 1]
Never trust, always verify the way
Every user, every device today
STIGs provide the hardened foundation
Zero Trust needs for our nation
Identity checked at every door
Access granted, nothing more
[Chorus]
I-M-E-C-M, that's the way
Identity, Micro, Endpoint, Crypto, Monitor every day
Zero Trust with STIGs aligned
Never trust, always verify in mind
Granular controls in every zone
Trust nothing, verify what's known
[Verse 2]
Identity management leads the charge
Multi-factor auth, permissions large
Microsegmentation breaks the walls
Network zones where data calls
East-west traffic gets inspected
No lateral moves go undetected
[Chorus]
I-M-E-C-M, that's the way
Identity, Micro, Endpoint, Crypto, Monitor every day
Zero Trust with STIGs aligned
Never trust, always verify in mind
Granular controls in every zone
Trust nothing, verify what's known
[Verse 3]
Endpoint hardening locks it down
STIG baselines wear the crown
Encryption flows through every stream
Data protected, living the dream
Continuous monitoring never sleeps
Watching over what we keep
[Bridge]
DISA's reference architecture shows
How Zero Trust implementation grows
Five domains working hand in hand
Securing our digital land
From perimeter to core defense
Zero Trust makes perfect sense
[Chorus]
I-M-E-C-M, that's the way
Identity, Micro, Endpoint, Crypto, Monitor every day
Zero Trust with STIGs aligned
Never trust, always verify in mind
Granular controls in every zone
Trust nothing, verify what's known
[Outro]
STIG hardened infrastructure stands
Zero Trust across all lands
Never trust and always see
That's our cybersecurity
