Fortinet FortiGate Firewall NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The FortiGate devices must use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

    <VulnDiscussion>Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be r...

  • The FortiGate device must implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead...
