Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction.
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals. One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords and p...Rule Medium Severity -

Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) 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 -

Group -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) 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 -

Applications used for nonlocal maintenance sessions must implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.
This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryp...Rule Medium Severity -

Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.
For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure...Rule Medium Severity -

Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) 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 -

Group -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect against or limit the effects of all known types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on the network device management network by employing organization-defined security safeguards.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate an alert that can be sent to security personnel when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B occur.
By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administrators are not logged into the network device. An example of a mechanism t...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.
