Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint Security Requirements Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-NET-000230

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or higher to protect the authenticity of communications sessions.

    Authenticity protection provides protection against man-in-the-middle attacks/session hijacking and the insertion of false information into sessions. Although allowed by SP800-131Ar2 for some appl...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000236

    Group
  • In the event of a device failure, Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints must preserve any information necessary to determine cause of failure and return to operations with least disruption to service.

    Failure in a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity,...

  • SRG-NET-000334

    Group
  • SRG-NET-000352

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to use cryptographic algorithms approved by NSA to protect NSS when transporting classified traffic across an unclassified network.

    Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. NIST cryptographic algorithms are approved by NSA to protect NSS. Based on an analysis of...

  • SRG-NET-000353

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must provide an explicit indication of current participants in all Videoconference (VC)-based and IP-based online meetings and conferences.

    Providing an explicit indication of current participants in teleconferences helps to prevent unauthorized individuals from participating in collaborative teleconference sessions without the explici...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000371

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must be configured to use FIPS-compliant algorithms for network traffic.

    Without protection of the transmitted information, confidentiality and integrity may be compromised as unprotected communications can be intercepted and either read or altered. TLS can be used to s...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000400

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint, when using passwords or PINs for authentication or authorization, must be configured to cryptographically protect the PIN or password.

    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 co...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000503

    Group
  • SRG-NET-000504

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access.

    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
  • SRG-NET-000505

    Group
  • SRG-NET-000511

    Group
  • The Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoint must, at a minimum, offload interconnected systems in real-time and offload standalone systems weekly.

    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...

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.
