Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems Security Requirements Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The IDPS must block outbound ICMP Destination Unreachable, Redirect, and Address Mask reply messages.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages are used to provide feedback about problems in the network. These messages are sent back to the sender to support diagnostics. However, some messag...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against unauthorized data mining, the IDPS must prevent code injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, queries, and fields.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against unauthorized data mining, the IDPS must detect code injection attacks launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against unauthorized data mining, the IDPS must detect SQL injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must off-load log records to a centralized log server.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading ensures audit information does not get overwritten if the limited audit storage capa...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must provide an alert to, at a minimum, the system administrator and ISSO when any audit failure events occur.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis may be impeded. This requirement includes, but is ...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must protect against or limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by employing rate-based attack prevention behavior analysis.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of IDPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key bound...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must protect against or limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by employing anomaly-based attack detection.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of IDPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key bound...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must protect against or limit the effects of known types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by employing signatures.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of IDPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key boun...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must detect network services that have not been authorized or approved by the ISSO or ISSM, at a minimum.
Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Examples of network ser...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must generate an alert to the ISSM and ISSO, at a minimum, when unauthorized network services are detected.
Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Automated mechanisms can...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must continuously monitor outbound communications traffic for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions.
If outbound communications traffic is not continuously monitored for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions, there will be times when hostile activity may not be noticed and defended against...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSM and ISSO when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., IAVMs or CTOs) are detected which indicate a compromise or potential for compromise.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be i...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSM and ISSO when user level intrusions which provide non-privileged access are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. CJCSM 6510.01B, "...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSM and ISSO when denial of service incidents are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. CJCSM 6510.01B, "...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DoD security policy and technology-specific security best practices.
Configuring the IDPS to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security baseline acros...Rule Medium Severity

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.
