III - Administrative Public

Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must use mechanisms meeting the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000408-NDM-000314

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) performing maintenance functions must restrict use of these functions to authorized personnel only.

    There are security-related issues arising from software brought into the network device specifically for diagnostic and repair actions (e.g., a software packet sniffer installed on a device in orde...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330

    Group
  • Applications used for nonlocal maintenance sessions must implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

    This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead of FTP, and HTTPS instead of HTTP. If unsecured protocols (lacking cryp...

    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must 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 Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000344

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must obtain its public key certificates from an appropriate certificate policy through an approved service provider.

    For user certificates, each organization obtains certificates from an approved, shared service provider, as required by OMB policy. For federal agencies operating a legacy public key infrastructure...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000224-NDM-000270

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved random number generator.

    Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generation of unique session identifiers helps to protect against brute-force att...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000435-NDM-000315

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must protect against or limit the effects of all known types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on the network device management network by employing organization-defined security safeguards.

    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-000516-NDM-000333

    Group
  • Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must generate an alert that can be sent to security personnel when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW with CJCSM 6510.01B occur.

    By immediately displaying an alarm message, potential security violations can be identified more quickly even when administrators are not logged into the network device. An example of a mechanism t...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000267-NDM-000273

    Group
  • The application must reveal error messages only to authorized individuals (ISSO, ISSM, and SA).

    Only authorized personnel should be aware of errors and the details of the errors. Error messages are an indicator of an organization's operational state. Additionally, sensitive account informatio...

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.
