  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform 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.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run ...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analys...

  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must accept and verify Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DoD has mandated the use...

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must allow the use of a temporary password for system logons with an immediate change to a permanent password.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without providing this capability, an account may be created without a password. Non-repudiation cannot be guaranteed once an...

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must only allow the use of secure protocols that implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead...
