The Dragos Platform must configure local password policies.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password. Use of more characters in a password helps to exponentially increase the time and/or resources required to compromise the password. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000164, SRG-APP-000166, SRG-APP-000167, SRG-APP-000168, SRG-APP-000169, SRG-APP-000174</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Dragos Platform must have notification and audit services installed.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Installing the Knowledge Pack(s) is essential for the Dragos Platform to provide comprehensive security monitoring, compliance, and operational visibility within industrial environments. It enhances the Platform's capabilities in detecting and responding to threats, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining the overall security. It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. The pack provides enhanced visibility into the operations of the Dragos Platform. This includes monitoring user activities, changes to system configurations, and other critical events. Improved visibility helps in identifying potential security issues and operational anomalies before they escalate into significant problems.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
The Dragos Platform must have disk encryption enabled on a virtual machines (VMs).
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Enabling disk encryption on VMs running the Dragos Platform is a critical security measure to protect sensitive data, ensure compliance with regulations, and provide a robust defense against various threats, including unauthorized access, data breaches, and insider threats. Disk encryption ensures that the data stored on the VM's disk is unreadable to unauthorized users. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information, such as security logs, configurations, and other operational data, from being accessed if the disk is physically stolen or if unauthorized access is obtained. In the event of a security breach, encrypted disks prevent attackers from easily accessing the data stored on the VMs. This is particularly important for mitigating the risks associated with data breaches, including the potential exposure of sensitive operational technology (OT) and industrial control system (ICS) data. VMs can be snapshotted or cloned, creating exact copies of the VM, including its data. Disk encryption ensures that even if a snapshot or clone is made, the data remains protected and cannot be accessed without the appropriate decryption keys. Disk encryption protects data at rest, which is data stored on the disk when the system is not in use. This is a critical aspect of data security, as it ensures that the data remains protected even if the VM is powered off or in a dormant state. For organizations using both on-premises and cloud environments, disk encryption provides a consistent approach to data security. This helps maintain uniform security policies and practices across different infrastructure setups. In multi-tenant environments, where multiple virtual machines run on the same physical hardware, disk encryption ensures that data on one VM cannot be accessed by other tenants or compromised VMs on the same host.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Dragos must use FIPS-validated encryption and hashing algorithms to protect the confidentiality and integrity of application configuration files and user-generated data stored or aggregated on the device.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Confidentiality and integrity protections are intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of system information at rest (e.g., network device rule sets) when it is located on a storage device within the network device or as a component of the network device. This protection is required to prevent unauthorized alteration, corruption, or disclosure of information when not stored directly on the network device. This requirement addresses protection of user-generated data as well as operating system-specific configuration data. Organizations may choose to employ different mechanisms to achieve confidentiality and integrity protections, as appropriate, in accordance with the security category and/or classification of the information.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Dragos Platform must allocate audit record storage retention length.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>In order to ensure applications have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, applications need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial installation of Dragos Platform and is closely associated with the database administrator (DBA) and system administrator (SA) roles. The DBA or SA will usually coordinate the allocation of physical drive space with Dragos Platform owner/installer and Dragos Platform will prompt the installer to provide the capacity information, the physical location of the disk, or both.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Dragos must allow only the individuals appointed by the information system security manager (ISSM) to have full admin rights to the system.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without restricting which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audits may degrade the system's performance by overwhelming the audit log. Misconfigured audits may also make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

1 Rule
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
The Dragos Platform must only allow the use of DOD PKI established certificate authorities for verification of the establishment of protected sessions.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Untrusted Certificate Authorities (CA) can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DOD systems or by organizations with insufficient security controls. If the CA used for verifying the certificate is not a DOD-approved CA, trust of this CA has not been established. The DOD will only accept PKI certificates obtained from a DOD-approved internal or external certificate authority. Reliance on CAs for the establishment of secure sessions includes, for example, the use of TLS certificates. This requirement focuses on communications protection for Dragos Platform session rather than for the network packet. This requirement applies to applications that use communications sessions. This includes, but is not limited to, web-based applications and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA).

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Dragos Platform must use an Identity Provider (IDP) for authentication and authorization processes.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Enterprise environments make application account management challenging and complex. A manual process for account management functions adds the risk of a potential oversight or other error. A comprehensive application account management process that includes automation helps to ensure accounts designated as requiring attention are consistently and promptly addressed. Examples include, but are not limited to, using automation to take action on multiple accounts designated as inactive, suspended, or terminated or by disabling accounts located in noncentralized account stores such as multiple servers. This requirement applies to all account types, including individual/user, shared, group, system, guest/anonymous, emergency, developer/manufacturer/vendor, temporary, and service. Dragos Platform must be configured to automatically provide account management functions and these functions must immediately enforce the organization's current account policy. The automated mechanisms may reside within Dragos Platform itself or may be offered by the operating system or other infrastructure providing automated account management capabilities. Automated mechanisms may be comprised of differing technologies that when placed together contain an overall automated mechanism supporting an organization's automated account management requirements. Account management functions include: assignment of group or role membership; identifying account type; specifying user access authorizations (i.e., privileges); account removal, update, or termination; and administrative alerts. The use of automated mechanisms can include, for example: using email or text messaging to automatically notify account managers when users are terminated or transferred; using the information system to monitor account usage; and using automated telephonic notification to report atypical system account usage. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000023, SRG-APP-000025, SRG-APP-000065, SRG-APP-000149, SRG-APP-000150, SRG-APP-000151, SRG-APP-000152, SRG-APP-000163, SRG-APP-000165, SRG-APP-000170, SRG-APP-000173, SRG-APP-000233, SRG-APP-000345, SRG-APP-000317, SRG-APP-000318</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

The Syslog client must use TCP connections.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Removal of unneeded or nonsecure functions, ports, protocols, and services mitigate the risk of unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or other exploitation of these resources. The organization must perform a periodic scan/review of Dragos (as required by CCI-000384) and disable functions, ports, protocols, and services deemed to be unneeded or nonsecure.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
The Dragos Platform must only allow local administrative and service user accounts.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Only two default accounts facilitate the initial setup and configuration of the Platform. These accounts provide immediate access to the system, allowing administrators to quickly get the system up and running without needing to create new user accounts during the initial installation phase. During maintenance, updates, or support operations, default accounts allow vendor support teams to access the system without needing to manage a variety of customer-specific accounts. This can streamline support activities and reduce downtime. Default accounts passwords need to be protected so they cannot be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system.

DRAG-OT-002480
1 Rule
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Before establishing a network connection with a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, Dragos Platform must authenticate using a bidirectional, cryptographically based authentication method that uses a FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to authenticate with the NTP server.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Without device-to-device authentication, communications with malicious devices may be established. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the identity of other devices for connections that are of greater risk. Currently, DOD requires the use of AES for bidirectional authentication since it is the only FIPS-validated AES cipher block algorithm. The NTP uses MD5 authentication keys. The MD5 algorithm is not approved for use in either the FIPS or NIST recommendation; thus, a CAT 1 finding is allocated in CCI-000803. However, the use of MD5 is preferred to no authentication at all and can be used to mitigate this requirement to a CAT II finding. The trusted-key statement permits authenticating NTP servers. The product must be configured to support separate keys for each NTP server. Severs should have PKI device certificate involved for use in the device authentication process. Server authentication is performed by the client using the server's public key certificate, which the server presents during the handshake. The exact nature of the cryptographic operation for server authentication is dependent on the negotiated cipher suite and extensions. In most cases (e.g., RSA for key transport, DH, and ECDH), authentication is performed explicitly through verification of digital signatures present in certificates and implicitly by the use of the server public key by the client during the establishment of the master secret. A successful "Finished" message implies that both parties calculated the same master secret and thus, the server must have known the private key corresponding to the public key used for key establishment.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Dragos must configure idle timeouts at 10 minutes.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>A session time-out lock is a temporary action taken when a user stops work and moves away from the immediate physical vicinity of the information system but does not log out because of the temporary nature of the absence. The session lock is implemented at the point where session activity can be determined. This is typically at the operating system level but may be at Dragos level. When Dragos design specifies Dragos rather than the operating system will determine when to lock the session, Dragos session lock event must include an obfuscation of the display screen to prevent other users from reading what was previously displayed. Publicly viewable images can include static or dynamic images, for example, patterns used with screen savers, photographic images, solid colors, a clock, a battery life indicator, or a blank screen, with the additional caveat that none of the images convey sensitive information. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000002, SRG-APP-000003, SRG-APP-000190, SRG-APP-000295, SRG-APP-000389</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Dragos Platforms must limit privileges and not allow the ability to run shell.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If Dragos Platform were to allow any user to make changes to software libraries, then those changes might be implemented without undergoing the appropriate testing and approvals that are part of a robust change management process. This requirement applies to applications with software libraries that are accessible and configurable, as in the case of interpreted languages. Software libraries also include privileged programs which execute with escalated privileges. Only qualified and authorized individuals must be allowed to obtain access to information system components for purposes of initiating changes, including upgrades and modifications. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000133, SRG-APP-000206, SRG-APP-000246, SRG-APP-000340, SRG-APP-000342, SRG-APP-000384</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
Dragos Platform must accept the DOD CAC or other PKI credential for identity management and personal authentication.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. PIV credentials are those credentials issued by federal agencies that conform to FIPS Publication 201 and supporting guidance documents. OMB Memorandum 11-11 requires federal agencies to continue implementing the requirements specified in HSPD-12 to enable agency-wide use of PIV credentials. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000402, SRG-APP-000403, SRG-APP-000391, SRG-APP-000392, SRG-APP-000402, SRG-APP-000403, SRG-APP-000177, SRG-APP-000176, SRG-APP-000175, SRG-APP-000401</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
The Dragos Platform must be configured to send backup audit records.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Configuring the Dragos Platform to send out backup audit records is a critical best practice for ensuring the security, integrity, and availability of audit data. It supports disaster recovery, regulatory compliance, forensic investigations, and overall operational resilience, thereby strengthening the organization's cybersecurity posture. Storing backup audit records in a separate location ensures that even if the primary system is compromised or experiences a failure, the audit records remain intact and secure. This separation enhances the overall integrity and security of the audit data. In the event of a catastrophic event such as a cyberattack, hardware failure, or natural disaster, having backup audit records stored offsite allows for recovery of critical audit data. This capability is essential for restoring operations and conducting post-incident analyses. In the aftermath of a security incident, forensic investigators rely on audit records to reconstruct events and understand the nature and impact of the incident. Backup audit records provide a reliable source of information for these investigations, even if the primary records are tampered with or deleted. Regularly backing up audit records ensures operational continuity by safeguarding critical data. In case of an unexpected event, the Dragos Platform can quickly access the backup records to continue monitoring and analyzing security events without significant disruption. Regular backups of audit records help ensure accountability by providing a reliable and tamper-evident log of activities. This accountability is essential for maintaining trust and transparency within the organization and with external stakeholders.

The Dragos Platform must notify system administrators and information system security officer (ISSO) of local account activity.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Once an attacker establishes access to an application, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of re-establishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply create a new account. Sending notification of account creation events to the system administrator and ISSO is one method for mitigating this risk.
