SAN Switch encryption and DOD PKI
Group -
The fabric switches must use DoD-approved PKI rather than proprietary or self-signed device certificates.
DOD PKI supplies better protection from malicious attacks than userid/password authentication and should be used anytime it is feasible.Rule Low Severity -
SAN Network Management Ports Fabric Switch
Group -
Network management ports on the SAN fabric switches except those needed to support the operational commitments of the sites are not disabled.
Enabled network management ports that are not required expose the SAN fabric switch and the entire network to unnecessary vulnerabilities. By disabling these unneeded ports the exposure profile of...Rule Medium Severity -
SAN management out-of-band or direct connect
Group -
SAN management is not accomplished using the out-of-band or direct connection method.
Removing the management traffic from the production network diminishes the security profile of the SAN servers by allowing all the management ports to be closed on the production network. The IAO/N...Rule Medium Severity -
Management Console to SAN Fabric Authentication
Group -
Communications from the management console to the SAN fabric are not protected strong two-factor authentication.
Using two-factor authentication between the SAN management console and the fabric enhances the security of the communications carrying privileged functions. It is harder for an unauthorized manage...Rule Low Severity -
Default PKI keys
Group -
The manufacturer’s default PKI keys have not been changed prior to attaching the switch to the SAN Fabric.
If the manufacturer's default PKI keys are allowed to remain active on the device, it can be accessed by a malicious individual with access to the default key. The IAO/NSO will ensure that the manu...Rule Low Severity
