Trend Micro TippingPoint IDPS Security Technical Implementation Guide

Rules, Groups, and Values defined within the XCCDF Benchmark

  • To protect against unauthorized data mining, the TPS must prevent code injection attacks launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.

    Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • To protect against unauthorized data mining, the TPS must prevent SQL injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.

    Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The Trend Micro TippingPoint Security Management System (SMS) must be configured to send security IPS policy to the Trend Micro Threat Protection System (TPS).

    The flow of all communications traffic must be monitored and controlled so it does not introduce any unacceptable risk to the network infrastructure or data. Restricting the flow of communications...
    Rule High Severity
  • The SMS and TPS must provide log information in a format that can be extracted and used by centralized analysis tools.

    Centralized review and analysis of log records from multiple SMS and TPS components gives the organization the capability to better detect distributed attacks and provides increased data points for...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The TPS must detect, at a minimum, mobile code that is unsigned or exhibiting unusual behavior, has not undergone a risk assessment, or is prohibited for use based on a risk assessment.

    Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The TPS must fail to a secure state which maintains access control mechanisms when the IDPS hardware, software, or firmware fails on initialization/shutdown or experiences a sudden abort during normal operation (also known as "Fail closed").

    Failure to a known safe state helps prevent systems from failing to a state that may cause loss of data or unauthorized access to system resources. Preserving information system state information a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The TPS must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by ensuring that security policies, signatures, rules, and anomaly detection techniques are applied to outbound communications traffic.

    The TPS must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave which can affect either internal or external systems. These attacks may use legitimate or rogue endpoints ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The TPS must block malicious ICMP packets by properly configuring ICMP signatures and rules.

    Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages are used to provide feedback about problems in the network. These messages are sent back to the sender to support diagnostics. However, some messag...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The TPS must automatically install updates to signature definitions, detection heuristics, and vendor-provided rules.

    Failing to automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms, including application software files, signature definitions, and vendor-provided rules, leaves the system vulnerable to exploit...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • The IDPS must generate an alert to the ISSM and ISSO, at a minimum, when unauthorized network services are detected.

    Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Automated mechanisms can...
    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.
