Group -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000342
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must employ automated mechanisms to assist in the tracking of security incidents.
Despite the investment in perimeter defense technologies, enclaves are still faced with detecting, analyzing, and remediating network breaches and exploits that have made it past the HP FlexFabric ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000344
Group -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must 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 -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000341
Group -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000341
Group -
The HP FlexFabric switch must be configured to send log data to a syslog server for the purpose of forwarding alerts to the administrators and the 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 Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000341
Group -
The HP FlexFabric switch must be configured to send SNMP traps and notifications to the SNMP manager for the purpose of sending alarms and notifying appropriate personnel as required by specific events.
If appropriate actions are not taken when a network device failure occurs, a denial of service condition may occur which could result in mission failure since the network would be operating without...Rule Medium Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for each administrator account and/or administrator account type.
Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administr...Rule Low Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must automatically audit account modification.
Since the accounts in the HP FlexFabric Switch are privileged or system-level accounts, account management is vital to the security of the HP FlexFabric Switch. Account management by a designated a...Rule Medium Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of management information within the HP FlexFabric Switch based on information flow control policies.
A mechanism to detect and prevent unauthorized communication flow must be configured or provided as part of the system design. If management information flow is not enforced based on approved autho...Rule Medium Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts by a user during a 15-minute time period.
By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.Rule Medium Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch 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 HP FlexFabric Switch ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, E...Rule Medium Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within the HP FlexFabric Switch.
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. Audit re...Rule Low Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must produce audit records containing information to establish where the events occurred.
In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know where events occurred, such as device hardware components, device softw...Rule Low Severity -
The HP FlexFabric Switch must use internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records.
In order to determine what is happening within the network infrastructure or to resolve and trace an attack, the HP FlexFabric Switch must support the organization's capability to correlate the aud...Rule Medium Severity
