Cisco ISE NDM Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • For accounts using password authentication, the Cisco ISE must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase character be used.

    Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...

  • For accounts using password authentication, the Cisco ISE must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used.

    Rule Medium Severity
  • For accounts using password authentication, the Cisco ISE must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or later protocol to protect the integrity of the password authentication process.

    Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are not encrypted, they can be plainly read (i.e., clear text) and easily c...
    Rule High Severity
  • The Cisco ISE must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.

    Some authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators. If cached authentication information is out-of-date, the validity of the authentication information may be quest...

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.
