SRG-NET-000512-ALG-000062
Group -
IBM Aspera Faspex user account passwords must have a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed periodically. If the Aspera system does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force users t...Rule Medium Severity -

IBM Aspera Faspex 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 -

SRG-NET-000512-ALG-000062
Group -
IBM Aspera Faspex must implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure or modification of all information that requires at rest protection.
Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information systems by an authorized user ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000098-ALG-000056
Group -
IBM Aspera Faspex must protect audit information from unauthorized modification.
If audit data were to become compromised, then forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is impossible to achieve. To ensure the veracity of audit...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000512-ALG-000062
Group -
The IBM Aspera Faspex private/secret cryptographic keys file must be group-owned by faspex to prevent unauthorized read access.
Private key data is used to prove that the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the key ...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
SRG-NET-000015-ALG-000016
Group -
The IBM Aspera Faspex Server must restrict users read, write, and browse permissions by default.
Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000213-ALG-000107
Group -
The IBM Aspera Shares interactive session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity for non-privileged and privileged sessions.
Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000041-ALG-000022
Group -
IBM Aspera Shares must be configured to display the Standard Mandatory DoD-approved Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the system.
Display of a standardized and approved use notification before granting access to the publicly accessible network element ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with ...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000339-ALG-000090
Group -
SRG-NET-000512-ALG-000062
Group -
IBM Aspera Shares must lock accounts after three unsuccessful login attempts within a 15-minute timeframe.
By limiting the number of failed login attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the a...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-NET-000062-ALG-000011
Group -
SRG-NET-000169-ALG-000102
Group -
IBM Aspera Shares must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).
Lack of authentication enables anyone to gain access to the network or possibly a network element that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the network infrastructure. ...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-NET-000062-ALG-000011
Group -
The IBM Aspera Shares feature must be configured to use encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Remote access is access to DoD nonpublic information s...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.
