  • The Central Log Server must be configured to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, ...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to protect the data sent from hosts and devices from being altered in a way that may prevent the attribution of an action to an individual (or process acting on behalf of an individual).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without non-repudiation, it is impossible to positively attribute an action to an individual (or process acting on behalf of ...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.

  • Time stamps recorded on the log records in the Central Log Server must be configured to synchronize to within one second of the host server or, if NTP is configured directly in the log server, the NTP time source must be the same as the host and devices within its scope of coverage.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;If the application is not configured to collate records based on the time when the events occurred, the ability to perform fo...

  • Where multiple log servers are installed in the enclave, each log server must be configured to aggregate log records to a central aggregation server or other consolidated events repository.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Log servers (e.g., syslog servers) are often used on network segments to consolidate from the devices and hosts on that netwo...

  • The Central Log Server log records must be configured to use the syslog protocol or another industry standard format (e.g., Windows event protocol) that can be used by typical analysis tools.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without a standardized format for log records, the ability to perform forensic analysis may be more difficult. Standardizatio...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to retain the DoD-defined attributes of the log records sent by the devices and hosts.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Log records can be generated from various components within the application (e.g., process, module). Certain specific applica...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to allow only the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be retained.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without restricting which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to pr...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to perform analysis of log records across multiple devices and hosts in the enclave that can be reviewed by authorized individuals.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Successful incident response and auditing relies on timely, accurate system information and analysis to allow the organizatio...

  • The Central Log Server must be configured to perform on-demand filtering of the log records for events of interest based on organization-defined criteria.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;The ability to specify the event criteria that are of interest provides the persons reviewing the logs with the ability to qu...

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.
