<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.
<VulnDiscussion>Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...Rule High Severity -

The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks using redundant authoritative time sources.
<VulnDiscussion>The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run ...Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
<VulnDiscussion>Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records....Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate SNMP messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).
<VulnDiscussion>Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. B...Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.
<VulnDiscussion>If NTP is not authenticated, an attacker can introduce a rogue NTP server. This rogue server can then be used to send incorre...Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated algorithm to protect the confidentiality and integrity of all cryptographic functions.
<VulnDiscussion>If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susce...Rule High Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to protect against known types of denial-of-service (DOS) attacks by restricting web and SSH access to the appliance.
<VulnDiscussion>DOS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot ac...Rule Medium Severity -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to use redundant Syslog servers that are configured on a different system than the NetProfiler appliance.
<VulnDiscussion>Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common ...Rule Medium Severity -

The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to use an authentication server to authenticate users prior to granting administrative access.
<VulnDiscussion>Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control ...Rule High Severity
