Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must disable the local Shark and Monitor accounts so they cannot be used as shared accounts by users.
The Monitor and Shark accounts which are default group accounts with shared credentials. Monitor and Shark accounts are not enabled by default, but cannot be deleted since these network tools are d...Rule Medium Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must automatically log event for account modification.
Since the accounts in the network device are privileged or system-level accounts, account management is vital to the security of the network device. Account management by a designated authority ens...Rule Low Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when local accounts are created.
An authorized insider or individual who maliciously creates a local account could gain immediate access from a remote location to privileged information on a critical security device. Sending an al...Rule Medium Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are modified.
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 Low Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate a log event when privileged functions are executed.
Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and...Rule Low Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must limit the number of concurrent sessions to one (1) 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 Medium Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must automatically terminate a network administrator session after organization-defined conditions or trigger events requiring session disconnect.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of administrator-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications ses...Rule Medium Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) 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 -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect audit information from any type of unauthorized read access.
Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, and audit reports) needed to successfully audit information system activity. If audit data were to become compromis...Rule Medium Severity -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect audit information from unauthorized deletion.
