SRG-APP-000068-NDM-000215
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the device.
Display of the DoD-approved use notification before granting access to the network device ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executi...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000090-NDM-000222
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must prohibit the use of unencrypted protocols for network access to privileged accounts.
Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily c...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000098-NDM-000228
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must produce audit log records containing information (FQDN, unique hostname, management or loopback IP address) to establish the source of events.
In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know the source of the event. The source may be a component, module, or proc...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000101-NDM-000231
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must have command auditing enabled.
Reconstruction of harmful events or forensic analysis is not possible if audit records do not contain enough information. The organization must maintain audit trails in sufficient detail to reconst...Rule Low Severity -

Group -
SRG-APP-000125-NDM-000241
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must back up audit records at least every seven days onto a different system or system component than the system or component being audited.
Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Regularly backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited ...Rule Low Severity -

The A10 Networks ADC must not have any shared accounts (other than the emergency administration account).
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational administrators must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all network management accesses to prevent potential mis...Rule Medium Severity -

The A10 Networks ADC must not use the default admin account.
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational administrators must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all network management accesses to prevent potential mis...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000156-NDM-000250
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...Rule Medium Severity -
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 -

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...Rule Medium Severity -

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...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The A10 Networks ADC must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -

The A10 Networks ADC must off-load audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.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.
