Tanium 7.3 Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Tanium Module server must be installed on a separate system.

    Unauthorized access to the Tanium Server is protected by disabling the Module Server service on the Tanium Server and by configuring the Module Server on a separate system. When X509 smartcard cer...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Tanium Server http directory and sub-directories must be restricted with appropriate permissions.

    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
  • 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...

  • All Active Directory accounts synchronized with Tanium for non-privileged functions must be non-privileged domain accounts.

    Tanium has the ability to synchronize with Active Directory for Tanium account management. Tanium advises that all replicated accounts for non-privileged level functions should be non-privileged do...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The SSLHonorCipherOrder must be configured to disable weak encryption algorithms on the Tanium Server.

    Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of utilizing encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards ...

    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Tanium max_soap_sessions_total 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...

  • The Tanium soap_max_keep_alive 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
  • The Tanium Detect Local Directory Source must be configured to restrict access to only authorized maintainers of Intel.

    An IOC stream is a series or ""stream"" of intel that are imported from a vendor based on a subscription service or manually downloaded and placed in a folder. Detect can be configured to retrieve ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Tanium documentation identifying recognized and trusted SCAP sources must be maintained.

    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...
