SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler 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 10 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-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks 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-000374-NDM-000299
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Tim...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000375-NDM-000300
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler 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 Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate 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 -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.
If NTP is not authenticated, an attacker can introduce a rogue NTP server. This rogue server can then be used to send incorrect time information to network devices, which will make log timestamps i...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated algorithm to protect the confidentiality and integrity of all cryptographic functions.
If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to eavesdropping, potentially putting sensitive data (including a...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000435-NDM-000315
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to protect against known types of denial-of-service (DOS) attacks by restricting web and SSH access to the appliance.
DOS is a condition when a resource is not available for legitimate users. When this occurs, the organization either cannot accomplish its mission or must operate at degraded capacity. This require...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000515-NDM-000325
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to use redundant Syslog servers that are configured on a different system than the NetProfiler appliance.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000336
Group -
The Riverbed NetProfiler must be configured to use an authentication server to authenticate users prior to granting administrative access.
Centralized management of authentication settings increases the security of remote and nonlocal access methods. This control is particularly important protection against the insider threat. With ro...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.
