SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must compare internal information system clocks at least every 24 hours with an authoritative time server.
<VulnDiscussion>Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the cor...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.
<VulnDiscussion>Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the cor...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions 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 -
SRG-APP-000374-NDM-000299
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
<VulnDiscussion>If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analys...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must accept and verify Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.
<VulnDiscussion>The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DOD has mandated the use...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must only allow the use of secure protocols that implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions.
<VulnDiscussion>This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must not use SNMP Versions 1 or 2.
<VulnDiscussion>SNMP Versions 1 and 2 are not considered secure. Without the strong authentication and privacy that is provided by the SNMP V...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000515-NDM-000325
<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an audit log record when the Data Plane CPU utilization is 100%.
<VulnDiscussion>Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means...Rule Medium Severity -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW CJCSM 6510.01B.
<VulnDiscussion>CJCSM 6510.01B, "Cyber Incident Handling Program", in subsection e.(6)(c) sets forth three requirements for Cyber events dete...Rule Medium Severity -

<GroupDescription></GroupDescription>Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must employ centrally managed authentication server(s).
<VulnDiscussion>The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services i...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.
