    Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...

    Rule Medium Severity
  • The network device 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
  • The network device must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks 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 ...
