Cisco ASA VPN Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Cisco ASA VPN remote access server must be configured to use an approved High Assurance Commercial Solution for Classified (CSfC) cryptographic algorithm for remote access to a classified network.

    Use of improperly configured or lower assurance equipment and solutions could compromise high-value information. The National Security Agency/Central Security Service's (NSA/CSS) CSfC program enab...
    Rule High Severity
  • The Cisco ASA remote access VPN server must be configured to use TLS 1.2 or higher to protect the confidentiality of remote access connections.

    Using older unauthorized versions or incorrectly configuring protocol negotiation makes the gateway vulnerable to known and unknown attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in this protocol. NIST SP 8...

  • The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate an alert that can be forwarded as an alert to organization-defined personnel and/or firewall administrator of all log failure events.

    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...

  • The Cisco ASA must be configured to use Internet Key Exchange (IKE) for all IPsec security associations.

    Without IKE, the Security Parameter Index (SPI) is manually specified for each security association. IKE peers will negotiate the encryption algorithm and authentication or hashing methods as well ...
