IBM DataPower Network Device Management Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The DataPower Gateway must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.

    <VulnDiscussion>Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the cor...

  • The DataPower Gateway must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run ...

  • The DataPower Gateway must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analys...

  • The DataPower Gateway must implement organization-defined automated security responses if baseline configurations are changed in an unauthorized manner.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the device vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized ...
