Tanium 7.0 Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Tanium Server certificates must have Extended Key Usage entries for the serverAuth object TLS Web Server Authentication and the clientAuth object TLS Web Client Authentication.

    Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during reception including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and during packing/unp...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The permissions on the Tanium Server registry keys must be restricted to only the Tanium service account and the [Tanium Admins] group.

    Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual users are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the object and in which...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • A Tanium connector must be configured to send log data to an external audit log reduction-capable system and provide alerts.

    While the Tanium Server records audit log entries to the Tanium SQL database, retrieval and aggregation of log data through the Tanium console is not efficient. The Tanium Connect module allows fo...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Firewall rules must be configured on the Tanium Server for Server-to-Module Server communications.

    The Tanium Module Server is used to extend the functionality of Tanium through the use of various workbenches. The Tanium Module Server requires communication with the Tanium Server on port 17477. ...

  • Any Tanium configured EMAIL RESULTS connectors must be configured to enable TLS/SSL to encrypt communications.

    Information can be either unintentionally or maliciously disclosed or modified during preparation for transmission including, for example, during aggregation, at protocol transformation points, and...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Tanium Server files must be excluded from on-access antivirus actions.

    Similar to any other host-based applications, the Tanium Server is subject to the restrictions other System-level software may place on an operating environment. Antivirus, IPS, Encryption, or othe...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Tanium Server console must be configured to display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to The Tanium Server.

    Display of the DoD-approved use notification before granting access to the application ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Tanium max_soap_sessions_per_user setting must be explicitly enabled to limit the number of simultaneous sessions.

    Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in li...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Tanium Comply must be configured to receive SCAP feeds only from trusted sources.

    NIST-validated SCAP XML documents are provided from several possible sources such as DISA, NIST, and the other non-government entities. These documents are used as the basis of compliance definitio...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Tanium must be configured in a High-Availability (HA) setup to ensure minimal loss of data and minimal disruption to mission processes in the event of a system failure.

    Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission/business needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, i...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • Tanium must limit the bandwidth used in communicating with endpoints to prevent a denial-of-service (DoS) condition at the server.

    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
  • Tanium service must be protected from being stopped by a non-privileged user.

    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
  • Tanium must be configured to communicate using TLS 1.2 Strict Only.

    Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality and integrity may be compromised since unprotected communications can be intercepted and either read or altered. This requirement...

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.
