Container Platform Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The container platform must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectivene...

  • The container platform must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.

    Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...

  • The container platform must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.

  • The container platform must require the change of at least 15 of the total number of characters when passwords are changed.

    If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at ...

  • SRG-APP-000171

    Group
  • For container platform using password authentication, the application must store only cryptographic representations of passwords.

    Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read and easily compromised. Use of ...

  • SRG-APP-000173

    Group
  • The container platform must enforce 24 hours (one day) as the minimum password lifetime.

    Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. Restricting this setting limits the user's ability to...

  • SRG-APP-000174

    Group
  • The container platform must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.

    Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked; therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals. One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords and p...

  • The container platform must provide an audit reduction capability that supports on-demand reporting requirements.

    The ability to generate on-demand reports, including after the audit data has been subjected to audit reduction, greatly facilitates the organization's ability to generate incident reports as neede...

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
