Riverbed NetProfiler Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • SRG-APP-000153-NDM-000249

    Group
  • The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate each administrator prior to authorizing privileges based on roles.

    The lack of role-based access control could result in the immediate compromise of and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Additionally, without mapping the PKI certificate to a unique use...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000164-NDM-000252

    Group
  • The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to 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
  • SRG-APP-000166-NDM-000254

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000515-NDM-000325

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000169-NDM-000257

    Group
  • The Riverbed NetProfiler must require that at least one special character be used.

    Use of a complex password 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 resistin...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267

    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.

    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...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298

    Group
  • The Riverbed NetProfiler 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
  • SRG-APP-000374-NDM-000299

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347

    Group
  • The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.

    If 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 will make log timestamps i...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331

    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.

    If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to eavesdropping, potentially putting sensitive data (including a...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000435-NDM-000315

    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.

    DOS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...

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.
