    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Arista network devices must use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of remote maintenance sessions.

    Unapproved mechanisms used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DOD data may be compromis...
    Rule High Severity
  • The network device must be configured to conduct backups of system level information contained in the information system when changes occur.

    System-level information includes default and customized settings and security attributes, including ACLs that relate to the network device configuration, as well as software required for the execu...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Arista network device must obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

    For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure...
