NetApp ONTAP DSC 9.x Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • ONTAP must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks using redundant authoritative time sources.

    The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • ONTAP must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the device configuration.

    Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restrict...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • ONTAP must be configured to prohibit the use of all unnecessary and/or nonsecure functions, ports, protocols, and/or services.

    In order 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...
    Rule High Severity
  • ONTAP must authenticate NTP sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.

    If Network Time Protocol (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 wi...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • ONTAP must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...
    Rule Medium Severity

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.
