Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-NET-000015

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must not be configured with any vendor default accounts, PINs, or passwords to access configuration settings.

    Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints can set or display configuration settings in the instrument itself. This presents a risk if a user obtains information such as the IP addresses...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to prevent the configuration or display of configuration settings without the use of a PIN or password.

    Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints can set or display configuration settings in the instrument itself. This presents a risk if a user obtains information such as the IP addresses...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint PC port must be configured to connect to an 802.1x supplicant or the PC port must be disabled.

    IEEE 802.1x is a protocol used to control access to LAN services via a network access switchport or wireless access point that requires a device or user to authenticate to the network element and b...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to apply 802.1Q VLAN tags to signaling and media traffic.

    When Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints do not dynamically assign 802.1Q VLAN tags as data is created and combined, it is possible the VLAN tags will not correctly reflect the data ty...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must notify the user, upon successful logon (access) to the network element, of the date and time of the last logon (access).

    Users need to be aware of activity that occurs regarding their account. Providing users with information regarding the date and time of their last successful login allows the user to determine if a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organizationally defined number.

    Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint management includes the ability to control the number of user sessions and limiting the number of allowed user sessions helps limit risk related to D...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to produce session (call detail) records containing what type of connection occurred.

    Session records are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints are not capable of providing session records and instead rely ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to produce session (call detail) records containing where the connection occurred.

    Session records are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints are not capable of providing session records and instead rely ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to produce session (call detail) records containing the source of the connection.

    Session records are commonly produced by session management and border elements. Many Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints are not capable of providing session records and instead rely ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to disable or remove nonessential capabilities.

    It is detrimental for Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints when unnecessary features are enabled by default. Often these features are enabled by default with functionality exceeding req...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must use multifactor authentication for network access to nonprivileged (nonadmin) accounts.

    To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, nonprivileged users must use multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor authenti...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access.

    A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must offload audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.

    Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Au...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must 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 Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must generate audit records showing starting and ending time for user access to the system.

    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 Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured in accordance with the security configuration settings based on DOD security configuration or implementation guidance, including STIGs, NSA configuration guides, CTOs, and DTMs.

    Configuring the network element to implement organization-wide security implementation guides and security checklists ensures compliance with federal standards and establishes a common security bas...

  • SRG-NET-000015

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to register with an Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Session Manager.

    For most VoIP systems, registration is the process of centrally recording the user ID, endpoint MAC address, service/policy profile with two-stage authentication prior to authorizing the establishm...
