Forescout Network Device Management Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • 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...

  • 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...
