Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must specify Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS).
PFS generates each new encryption key independently from the previous key. Without PFS, compromise of one key will compromise all communications. The phase 2 (Quick Mode) Security Association (SA...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must use Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) in tunnel mode.
ESP provides confidentiality, data origin authentication, integrity, and anti-replay services within the IPsec suite of protocols. ESP in tunnel mode ensures a secure path for communications for si...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must disable or remove unnecessary network services and functions that are not used as part of its role in the architecture.
Network devices are capable of providing a wide variety of functions (capabilities or processes) and services. Some of these functions and services are installed and enabled by default. The organiz...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must use IKEv2 for IPsec VPN security associations.
Use of IKEv2 leverages DoS protections because of improved bandwidth management and leverages more secure encryption algorithms.Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.
In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must disable...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational use...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must use multifactor authentication (e.g., DoD PKI) for network access to non-privileged accounts.
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor aut...Rule High Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).
Lack of authentication and identification enables non-organizational users to gain access to the network or possibly a network element that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resource...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session.
Idle TCP sessions can be susceptible to unauthorized access and hijacking attacks. IKE Dead Peer Detection (DPD) is a protocol that verifies the availability of IPsec peer devices by sending encryp...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway VPN Internet Key Exchange (IKE) must be configured to use an approved Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) when transporting classified traffic across an unclassified network.
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The National Security Agency/Central Security Service's (NSA/CSS) CSfC Program enables co...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.
