The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to limit the number of concurrent sessions to the Configuration Utility to 10 or an organization-defined number.
Device management includes the ability to control the number of administrators and management sessions that manage a device. Limiting the number of allowed administrators and sessions per administr...Rule Medium Severity -

The F5 BIG-IP appliance must terminate shared/group account credentials when members leave the group.
A shared/group account credential is a shared form of authentication that allows multiple individuals to access the network device using a single account. If shared/group account credentials are no...Rule Medium Severity -

The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to audit the execution of privileged functions such as accounts additions and changes.
Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must be configured to enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts, after which time it must block any login attempt for at least 15 minutes.
By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.Rule Medium Severity -

The F5 BIG-IP appliance must generate audit records and send records to redundant central syslog servers that are separate from the appliance.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the org...Rule High Severity -

Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Tim...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The F5 BIG-IP appliance must authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.
If NTP is not authenticated, an attacker can introduce a rogue NTP server. This rogue server can then be used to send incorrect time information to network devices, which will make log timestamps i...Rule Medium Severity -
