A10 Networks ADC NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-APP-000172-NDM-000259

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must automatically lock the account until the locked account is released by an administrator when three unsuccessful logon attempts in 15 minutes are exceeded.

    By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000267-NDM-000273

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must reveal error messages only to authorized individuals (ISSO, ISSM, and SA).

    Only authorized personnel should be aware of errors and the details of the errors. Error messages are an indicator of an organization's operational state. Additionally, sensitive account informatio...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000291-NDM-000275

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must generate alerts to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are created.

    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 High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000292-NDM-000276

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must generate alerts 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 Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000293-NDM-000277

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000294-NDM-000278

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must generate alerts to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are removed.

    When application accounts are removed, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes themse...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000317-NDM-000282

    Group
  • When anyone who has access to the emergency administration account no longer requires access to it or leaves the organization, the password for the emergency administration account must be changed.

    A shared/group account credential is a shared form of authentication that allows multiple individuals to access the network device using a single account. If shared/group account credentials are no...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000320-NDM-000284

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must notify System Administrators (SAs) and Information System Security Officers (ISSMs) when accounts are created, or enabled when previously disabled.

    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...

  • SRG-APP-000345-NDM-000290

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000371-NDM-000296

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000372-NDM-000297

    Group
  • The A10 Networks ADC must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.

    Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when condu...

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.
