  • SRG-APP-000169-NDM-000257

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • For accounts using password authentication, the Cisco ISE must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special character be used.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000172-NDM-000259

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • For accounts using password authentication, the Cisco ISE must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or later protocol to protect the integrity of the password authentication process.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Passwords need to be protected at all times, and encryption is the standard method for protecting passwords. If passwords are...

  • SRG-APP-000400-NDM-000313

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must prohibit the use of cached authenticators after an organization-defined time period.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Some authentication implementations can be configured to use cached authenticators. If cached authentication information is ...

  • SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 (or greater) to protect the integrity of hash message authentication code (HMAC), Key Derivation Functions (KDFs), Random Bit Generation, and hash-only applications.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Nonlocal ma...

  • SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be r...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must verify the checksum value of any software download, including install files (ISO or OVA), patch files, and upgrade bundles.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Without cryptographic integrity protections, information can be altered by unauthorized users without detection. Nonlocal ma...

  • SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using a FIPS 140-2 validated algorithm to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requires the use of secure protocols instead of their unsecured counterparts, such as SSH instead of telnet, SCP instead...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000190-NDM-000267

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must 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.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000224-NDM-000270

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must generate unique session identifiers using a FIPS 140-2 approved Random Number Generator (RNG) using DRGB.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Sequentially generated session IDs can be easily guessed by an attacker. Employing the concept of randomness in the generatio...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000231-NDM-000271

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The Cisco ISE must only allow authorized administrators to view or change the device configuration, system files, and other files stored.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requirement is intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of system information at rest (e.g., network device...

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.
