Central Log Server Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

    To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational use...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000149

    Group
  • The Central Log Server must use multifactor authentication for network access to privileged user accounts.

    Without the use of multifactor authentication, the ease of access to privileged functions is greatly increased. Multifactor authentication requires using two or more factors to achieve authentica...

  • SRG-APP-000150

    Group
  • The Central Log Server must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged user accounts.

    To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor aut...

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000154

    Group
  • The Central Log Server must be configured to use multifactor authentication for network access to privileged accounts such that one of the factors is provided by a device separate from the system gaining access.

    Using an authentication device, such as a DOD common access card (CAC) or token separate from the information system, ensures that even if the information system is compromised, that compromise wil...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000156

    Group
  • The Central Log Server must use FIPS-validated SHA-1 or higher hash function to provide replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

    A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...
