EnterpriseDB Postgres Advanced Server (EPAS) Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must produce audit records containing sufficient information to establish the sources (origins) of the events.

    Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without establishing the source of the event, it is impossible to establish, correlate, and investigate the events...

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must produce audit records containing sufficient information to establish the identity of any user/subject or process associated with the event.

    Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of us...

    Group
  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must, by default, shut down upon audit failure, to include the unavailability of space for more audit log records; or must be configurable to shut down upon audit failure.

    It is critical that when the DBMS is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it take action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include: software/hardware errors; failu...

  • If passwords are used for authentication, the EDB Postgres Advanced Server must store only hashed, salted representations of passwords.

    The DOD standard for authentication is DOD-approved PKI certificates. Authentication based on User ID and Password may be used only when it is not possible to employ a PKI certificate, and require...

    Group
  • The audit information produced by the EDB Postgres Advanced Server must be protected from unauthorized read access.

    If audit data were to become compromised, then competent forensic analysis and discovery of the true source of potentially malicious system activity is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. In ...

  • The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must protect its audit configuration from unauthorized modification.

    Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on au...
