Juniper EX Series Switches Network Device Management Security Technical Implementation Guide
Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark
-
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to limit the number of concurrent management sessions to 10 or an organization-defined value.
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 Juniper EX switch must be configured to assign appropriate user roles or access levels to authenticated users.
Successful identification and authentication must not automatically give an entity full access to a network device or security domain. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in...Rule High Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of management information within the network device based on information flow control policies.
A mechanism to detect and prevent unauthorized communication flow must be configured or provided as part of the system design. If management information flow is not enforced based on approved autho...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper device must be configured to produce audit log records containing sufficient information to establish what type of event occurred.
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done to compile an accurate risk assessment. Associati...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to produce audit records containing information to establish when (date and time) the events occurred.
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to protect audit information from unauthorized modification.
Audit information includes all information (e.g., audit records, audit settings, and audit reports) needed to successfully audit network device activity. If audit data were to become compromised, ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to protect audit tools from unauthorized access.
Protecting audit data also includes identifying and protecting the tools used to view and manipulate log data. Therefore, protecting audit tools is necessary to prevent unauthorized operation on au...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to prohibit the use of all unnecessary and/or nonsecure functions, ports, protocols, and/or services.
To prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable unused o...Rule High Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.
Use of a complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisti...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper EX switch must be configured to require that when a password is changed, the characters are changed in at least eight of the positions within the password.
If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at ...Rule Medium Severity
