SRG-APP-000168-NDM-000256
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one numeric 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 Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000169-NDM-000257
Group -
The Cisco ASA 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 Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000170-NDM-000329
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to require that when a password is changed, the characters are changed in at least eight of the positions within the password.
If the application allows the user to consecutively reuse extensive portions of passwords, this increases the chances of password compromise by increasing the window of opportunity for attempts at ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after five minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.
Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port th...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000343-NDM-000289
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to audit the execution of privileged functions.
Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000357-NDM-000293
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.
In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impe...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to synchronize its clock with the primary and secondary time sources using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000375-NDM-000300
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granula...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310
Group -
The Cisco ASA must be configured to authenticate Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).
Without authenticating devices, unidentified or unknown devices may be introduced, thereby facilitating malicious activity. Bidirectional authentication provides stronger safeguards to validate the...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.
