Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you build a fortress, start with solid ground
Gold images are templates, security-bound
Pre-hardened operating systems, STIGs applied with care
Deploy them as your baseline, protection everywhere

[Chorus]
Four ways to harden, keep your systems tight
Gold images, IaC, policies that bite
Group management, config tools so bright
G-I-C-G hardening done right

[Verse 2]
Infrastructure as Code now, automation's key
Ansible and Chef cooking recipes
Puppet pulls the strings while Terraform builds the land
STIG configurations written by your hand

[Chorus]
Four ways to harden, keep your systems tight
Gold images, IaC, policies that bite
Group management, config tools so bright
G-I-C-G hardening done right

[Bridge]
Windows domains need Group Policy Objects
Map those STIG requirements, security projects
Centralized enforcement across your whole domain
Making sure compliance flows through every lane

[Verse 3]
Configuration management keeps the watch at night
SCCM and Satellite, Ansible Tower's might
Ongoing compliance, never standing still
Centralized tools bending systems to your will

[Chorus]
Four ways to harden, keep your systems tight
Gold images, IaC, policies that bite
Group management, config tools so bright
G-I-C-G hardening done right

[Outro]
Template, code, policy, manage
Four approaches for security's advantage
Gold, Infrastructure, Group, Config flow
That's how hardening approaches go
