SRG-APP-000268-NDM-000274
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must activate a system alert message, send an alarm, and/or automatically shut down when a component failure is detected.
Predictable failure prevention requires organizational planning to address device failure issues. If components key to maintaining the device's security fail to function, the device could continue ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000291-NDM-000275
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are created.
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000293-NDM-000277
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the administrators and ISSO when accounts are disabled.
When application accounts are disabled, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are utilized for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes thems...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000295-NDM-000279
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must automatically terminate a network administrator session after organization-defined conditions or trigger events requiring session disconnect.
Automatic session termination addresses the termination of administrator-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications ses...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000296-NDM-000280
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must provide a logout capability for administrator-initiated communication sessions.
If an administrator cannot explicitly end a device management session, the session may remain open and be exploited by an attacker; this is referred to as a zombie session.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000297-NDM-000281
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must display an explicit logout message to administrators indicating the reliable termination of authenticated communications sessions.
If an explicit logout message is not displayed and the administrator does not expect to see one, the administrator may inadvertently leave a management session un-terminated. The session may remain...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000319-NDM-000283
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must automatically audit account enabling actions.
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000325-NDM-000285
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must be compliant with at least one IETF standard authentication protocol.
Protecting access authorization information (i.e., access control decisions) ensures that authorization information cannot be altered, spoofed, or otherwise compromised during transmission. In dis...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000328-NDM-000286
Group -
If the DataPower Gateway uses discretionary access control, the DataPower Gateway must enforce organization-defined discretionary access control policies over defined subjects and objects.
Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is based on the notion that individual network administrators are "owners" of objects and therefore have discretion over who should be authorized to access the ob...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000329-NDM-000287
Group -
If the DataPower Gateway uses role-based access control, the DataPower Gateway must enforce role-based access control policies over defined subjects and objects.
Organizations can create specific roles based on job functions and the authorizations (i.e., privileges) to perform needed operations on organizational information systems associated with the organ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000343-NDM-000289
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must 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-000353-NDM-000292
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must provide the capability for organization-identified individuals or roles to change the auditing to be performed based on all selectable event criteria within near-real-time.
If authorized individuals do not have the ability to modify auditing parameters in response to a changing threat environment, the organization may not be able to effectively respond, and important ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000357-NDM-000293
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must 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-000359-NDM-000294
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must generate an immediate alert when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75% of repository maximum audit record storage capacity.
If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75%, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion. This could lead to the loss of audit informa...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events.
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 Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000371-NDM-000296
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must compare internal information system clocks at least every 24 hours with an authoritative time server.
Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when condu...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000372-NDM-000297
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.
Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when condu...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions 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 DataPower Gateway must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
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-000379-NDM-000303
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must implement organization-defined automated security responses if baseline configurations are changed in an unauthorized manner.
Unauthorized changes to the baseline configuration could make the device vulnerable to various attacks or allow unauthorized access to the device. Changes to device configurations can have unintend...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The DataPower Gateway must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration.
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restric...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000381-NDM-000305
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must audit the enforcement actions used to restrict access associated with changes to the device.
Without auditing the enforcement of access restrictions against changes to the device configuration, it will be difficult to identify attempted attacks, and an audit trail will not be available for...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.
