Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.
In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to encrypt Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm.
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 -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347
Group -
SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of non-local maintenance and diagnostic communications.
Unapproved mechanisms that are 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 ...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331
Group -
SRG-APP-000435-NDM-000315
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to protect against known types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by enabling the Threat Detection feature.
DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000495-NDM-000318
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to modify administrator privileges occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000499-NDM-000319
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to delete administrator privileges occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000503-NDM-000320
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful logon attempts occur.
Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...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.
