  • The network device must generate audit records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficu...

  • The network device must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generatio...

  • The network device must only allow authorized administrators to view or change the device configuration, system files, and other files stored either in the device or on removable media (such as a flash drive).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requirement is intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of system information at rest (e.g., network device...

  • The network device must be configured to provide a logout mechanism for administrator-initiated communication sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If an administrator cannot explicitly end a device management session, the session may remain open and be exploited by an att...

    Group
  • The network device must display an explicit logout message to administrators indicating the reliable termination of authenticated communications sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If an explicit logout message is not displayed and the administrator does not expect to see one, the administrator may inadve...

  • The network device must automatically audit account enabling actions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestab...

    Group
  • If the network device uses discretionary access control, the network device must enforce organization-defined discretionary access control policies over defined subjects and objects.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual network administrators are "owners" of objects and ...

  • If the network device uses role-based access control, the network device must enforce organization-defined role-based access control policies over defined subjects and objects.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Organizations can create specific roles based on job functions and the authorizations (i.e., privileges) to perform needed op...

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.
