The DataPower Gateway must provide audit record generation capability for DoD-defined auditable events within DataPower.
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 Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000090-NDM-000222
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audi...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000108-NDM-000232
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an ...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must protect audit tools from unauthorized deletion.
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operations on a...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000125-NDM-000241
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must back up audit records at least every seven days onto a different system or system component than the system or component being audited.
Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Regularly backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited ...Rule Low Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations.
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords need t...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000166-NDM-000254
Group -
If multifactor authentication is not supported and passwords must be used, the DataPower Gateway must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one upper-case character be used.
Use of a complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisti...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must map the authenticated identity to the user account for PKI-based authentication.
Authorization for access to any network device requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be boun...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must use mechanisms meeting the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for authentication to a cryptographic module.
Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be ...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator.
Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generation of unique session identifiers helps to protect against brute-force att...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must activate a system alert message, send an alarm, and/or automatically shut down when a component failure is detected.
Predictable failure prevention requires organizational planning to address device failure issues. If components key to maintaining the device's security fail to function, the device could continue ...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are created.
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 -

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.
