  • SRG-APP-000411

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network devices must use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be r...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000412

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead...

  • SRG-APP-000435

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must be configured to protect against known types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing organization-defined security safeguards.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;DoS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot ac...

  • SRG-APP-000491

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • If the network device uses mandatory access control, the network device must enforce organization-defined mandatory access control policies over all subjects and objects.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Mandatory access control policies constrain what actions subjects can take with information obtained from data objects for wh...

  • SRG-APP-000495

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The network device must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to delete administrator privileges occur.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficu...
