Ivanti Sentry 9.x ALG Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • The Sentry must restrict or block harmful or suspicious communications traffic by controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic.

    Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Blocking or restricting detected harmful or suspicious communications...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Sentry providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must use encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.

    Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Remote access is access to DoD nonpublic information s...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Sentry providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must use NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the integrity of remote access sessions.

    Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information systems by an authorized user ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Sentry must produce audit records containing information to establish what type of events occurred.

    Without establishing what type of event occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. Audit record content that may be nece...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The Sentry must produce audit records containing information to establish the outcome of the events.

    Without information about the outcome of events, security personnel cannot make an accurate assessment as to whether an attack was successful or if changes were made to the security state of the ne...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The Sentry must generate audit records containing information to establish the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.

    Without information that establishes the identity of the subjects (i.e., users or processes acting on behalf of users) associated with the events, security personnel cannot determine responsibility...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The Sentry must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and SCA when an audit processing failure occurs.

    It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an ...
    Rule Low Severity
  • The Sentry providing mobile device authentication intermediary services must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.

    To ensure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor auth...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Sentry providing PKI-based mobile device authentication intermediary services must map authenticated identities to the mobile device account.

    Authorization for access to any network element requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bou...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Sentry must terminate all network connections associated with a communications session at the end of the session, or as follows: for in-band management sessions (privileged sessions), the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity; and for mobile device sessions (non-privileged session), the session must be terminated after 15 minutes of inactivity.

    Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...

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.
