Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-NET-000078-ALG-000047

    Group
  • Symantec ProxySG providing forward proxy intermediary services for TLS must be configured to comply with the required TLS settings in NIST SP 800-52.

    SP 800-52 provides guidance on using the most secure version and configuration of the TLS/SSL protocol. Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the g...
    Rule High Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG must implement security policies that enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources by employing identity-based, role-based, and/or attribute-based security policies.

    Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and ...
    Rule High Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG must restrict or block harmful or suspicious communications traffic by controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic.

    Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Blocking or restricting detected harmful or suspicious communications...
    Rule High Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG must enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information within the network based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic.

    Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network. The flow of all network traffic must be monitored and controlled so it does not introduce any unacceptabl...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG providing user access control intermediary services must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.

    Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG providing user access control intermediary services must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the system.

    Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG providing user access control intermediary services must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access web resources occur.

    Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG must produce audit records containing information to establish when (date and time) the events occurred.

    Without establishing when events occurred, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. In order to compile an accurate risk assessment a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Symantec ProxySG must produce audit records containing information to establish the outcome of the events.

    Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the ne...
