Forescout must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special 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...Rule Medium Severity -

Forescout must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.
Unapproved mechanisms used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromi...Rule High Severity -

Forescout must be configured to send log data to a central log server for the purpose of forwarding alerts to the administrators and the Information System Security Officer (ISSO).
The aggregation of log data kept on a syslog server can be used to detect attacks and trigger an alert to the appropriate security personnel. The stored log data can be used to detect weaknesses in...Rule High Severity -
Forescout must be configured with only one web account and one CLI account of last resort with limited access and used only when the authentication server is unavailable.
Authentication for administrative (privileged-level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server i...Rule Medium Severity -
Forescout must display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the device.
Display of the DoD-approved use notification before granting access to the application ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive ...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must retain the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner on the screen until the administrator acknowledges the usage conditions and takes explicit actions to log on for further access.
The banner must be acknowledged by the administrator prior to the device allowing the administrator access to the network device. This provides assurance that the administrator has seen the message...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must generate log records when attempts to delete administrator privileges occur.
Without generating log records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or i...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must generate log records showing when successful logon attempts occur.
Without generating log records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an inci...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must generate log records for privileged activities or other system-level access.
Without generating log records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an inci...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must generate log records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur.
Without generating log records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an inci...Rule Low Severity -
Forescout must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -
Forescout must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration.
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. For Forescout, ensure only autho...Rule Medium Severity -
Forescout must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the firmware, OS, USB port, and console port.
Changes to the hardware or software components of the network device can have significant effects on the overall security of the network. Therefore, only qualified and authorized individuals must b...Rule Medium Severity -
If the network device uses role-based access control, Forescout must enforce organization-defined, role-based access control policies over defined subjects and objects.
Organizations can create specific roles based on job functions and the authorizations (i.e., privileges) to perform needed operations on organizational information systems associated with the organ...Rule Medium Severity
Node 2
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.
