Network WLAN AP-IG Platform Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-NET-000512

    Group
  • WLAN SSIDs must be changed from the manufacturer's default to a pseudo random word that does not identify the unit, base, organization, etc.

    An SSID identifying the unit, site, or purpose of the WLAN or that is set to the manufacturer default may cause an OPSEC vulnerability.
    Rule Low Severity
  • WLAN components must be FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 certified and configured to operate in FIPS mode.

    If the DoD WLAN components (WLAN AP, controller, or client) are not NIST FIPS 140-2/FIPS 140-3 (Cryptographic Module Validation Program, CMVP) certified, the WLAN system may not adequately protect ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • WLAN signals must not be intercepted outside areas authorized for WLAN access.

    Most commercially available WLAN equipment is preconfigured for signal power appropriate to most applications of the WLAN equipment. In some cases, this may permit the signals to be received outsid...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The network device must not be configured to have any feature enabled that calls home to the vendor.

    Call-home services will routinely send data such as configuration and diagnostic information to the vendor for routine or emergency analysis and troubleshooting. There is a risk that transmission o...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000514

    Group
  • The WLAN inactive/idle session timeout must be set for 30 minutes or less.

    A WLAN session that never terminates due to inactivity may allow an opening for an adversary to highjack the session to obtain access to the network.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000063

    Group
  • WLAN components must be Wi-Fi Alliance certified with WPA2 or WPA3.

    Wi-Fi Alliance certification ensures compliance with DoD interoperability requirements between various WLAN products.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000151
