  • Splunk Enterprise must use organization-level authentication to uniquely identify and authenticate users.

    To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be uniquely identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Sharing o...

  • SRG-APP-000156-AU-002380

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000166-AU-002490

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase 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 Low Severity

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000164-AU-002480

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectivene...

  • SRG-APP-000169-AU-002520

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to enforce password complexity by requiring 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 Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000172-AU-002550

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be installed in FIPS mode to implement NIST FIPS-approved cryptography for all cryptographic functions.

    FIPS 140-2 precludes the use of unvalidated cryptography for the cryptographic protection of sensitive or valuable data within Federal systems. Unvalidated cryptography is viewed by NIST as providi...

  • SRG-APP-000174-AU-002570

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000165-AU-002580

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations.

    Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. To meet password policy requirements, passwords need t...

  • SRG-APP-000610-AU-000050

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000427-AU-000040

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must only allow the use of DOD-approved certificate authorities for cryptographic functions.

    Untrusted Certificate Authorities (CA) can issue certificates, but they may be issued by organizations or individuals that seek to compromise DOD systems or by organizations with insufficient secur...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000439-AU-004310

    Group
  • SRG-APP-000391-AU-002290

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must accept the DOD CAC or other PKI credential for identity management and personal authentication.

    The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DOD has mandated the use of the CAC to support identity management and personal authentication f...

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.
