Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to encrypt SNMP messages using a FIPS 140-2 approved algorithm.

    Without the strong encryption that is provided by the SNMP Version 3 User-based Security Model (USM), an unauthorized user can gain access to network management information that can be used to crea...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000347

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to authenticate Network Time Protocol (NTP) sources using authentication that is cryptographically based.

    If Network Time Protocol 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 mak...

  • SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to use FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) to protect the integrity of remote maintenance sessions.

    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 High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of remote maintenance sessions.

    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 High Severity
  • SRG-APP-000499-NDM-000319

    Group
  • The Cisco switch must be configured to generate log records when administrator privileges are deleted.

    Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an in...
