Juniper Router NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Juniper router must be configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted.

    Without generating audit 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 in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

    Without generating audit 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 in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured to generate log records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur.

    Without generating audit 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 in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured to generate log records for a locally developed list of auditable events.

    Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity th...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured to obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

    For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured to send log data to at least two syslog servers for the purpose of forwarding alerts to the administrators and the Information System Security Officers (ISSO).

    Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply...
    Rule High Severity
  • The Juniper router must be configured with a master password that is used to generate encrypted keys for shared secrets.

    By default, shared secrets in a Junos configuration only use an obfuscation algorithm ($9$ format), which is not very strong and can easily be decrypted. Strong encryption for configured secrets ca...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Juniper router must be running a Junos release that is currently supported by Juniper Networks.

    Network devices running an unsupported operating system lack current security fixes required to mitigate the risks associated with recent vulnerabilities. Running a supported release also enables o...
    Rule High 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.
