I - Mission Critical Sensitive

Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000086-AU-000020

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.

    If the application is not configured to collate records based on the time when the events occurred, the ability to perform forensic analysis and investigations across multiple components is signifi...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000090-AU-000070

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must allow only the information system security manager (ISSM) (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to be assigned to the Power User role.

    Without restricting which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent the auditing of critical events. Misconfigured audits may degrade ...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000359-AU-000120

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to send an immediate alert to the System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Officer (ISSO) (at a minimum) when allocated log record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum log record storage capacity.

    If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion. Although this may be part of the ope...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000360-AU-000130

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must notify the System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Officer (ISSO) (at a minimum) of all audit failure events, such as loss of communications with hosts and devices, or if log records are no longer being received.

    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-000361-AU-000140

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must notify the System Administrator (SA) or Information System Security Officer (ISSO) if communication with the host and devices within its scope of coverage is lost.

    If the system were to continue processing after audit failure, actions could be taken on the system that could not be tracked and recorded for later forensic analysis. To perform this function, som...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000516-AU-000350

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must be configured to notify the System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Officer (ISSO), at a minimum, when an attack is detected on multiple devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.

    Detecting when multiple systems are showing anomalies can often indicate an attack. Notifying appropriate personnel can initiate a proper response and mitigation of the attack. Splunk can aggregat...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000166-AU-002490

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must enforce password complexity for the account of last resort by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.

    Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...
    Rule Low Severity

    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000168-AU-002510

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must enforce password complexity for the account of last resort by requiring that at least one numeric character be used.

    Use of a complex password helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resistin...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000164-AU-002480

    Group
  • Splunk Enterprise must enforce a minimum 15-character password length for the account of last resort.

    The shorter the password, the lower the number of possible combinations that need to be tested before the password is compromised. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectivene...

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.
