SRG-NET-000364-FW-000035
Group -
When employed as a premise firewall, FortiGate must block all outbound management traffic.
The management network must still have its own subnet in order to enforce control and access boundaries provided by layer 3 network nodes such as routers and firewalls. Management traffic between t...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-FW-000036
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must restrict traffic entering the VPN tunnels to the management network to only the authorized management packets based on destination address.
Protect the management network with a filtering firewall configured to block unauthorized traffic. This requirement is similar to the out-of-band management (OOBM) model, in which the production ne...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-FW-000040
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must be configured to inspect all inbound and outbound traffic at the application layer.
Application inspection enables the firewall to control traffic based on different parameters that exist within the packets such as enforcing application-specific message and field length. Inspectio...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000364-FW-000042
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must be configured to restrict it from accepting outbound packets that contain an illegitimate address in the source address field via an egress filter or by enabling Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF).
A compromised host in an enclave can be used by a malicious platform to launch cyberattacks on third parties. This is a common practice in "botnets", which are a collection of compromised computers...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000392-FW-000042
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must generate an alert that can be forwarded to, at a minimum, the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and Information System Security Manager (ISSM) when denial-of-service (DoS) incidents are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action, and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. The firewall gen...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-NET-000399-FW-000008
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must allow authorized users to record a packet-capture-based IP, traffic type (TCP, UDP, or ICMP), or protocol.
Without the ability to capture, record, and log content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. This configuration ensures the ability to select ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000492-FW-000006
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must generate traffic log records when traffic is denied, restricted, or discarded.
Without generating log records that log usage of objects by subjects and other objects, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000493-FW-000007
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must generate traffic log records when attempts are made to send packets between security zones that are not authorized to communicate.
Without generating log records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or i...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000019-FW-000003
Group -
The FortiGate firewall must use filters that use packet headers and packet attributes, including source and destination IP addresses and ports.
Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Blocking or restricting detected harmful or suspicious communications...Rule High 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.
