  • SRG-NET-000113-IDPS-00013

    Group
  • The TPS must provide audit record generation capability for detection events based on implementation of policy filters, rules, signatures, and anomaly analysis.

  • SRG-NET-000113-IDPS-00082

    Group
  • The TPS must provide audit record generation capability for events where communication traffic is blocked or restricted based on policy filters, rules, signatures, and anomaly analysis.

    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000089-IDPS-00069

    Group
  • In the event of a logging failure caused by the lack of audit record storage capacity, the SMS must continue generating and storing audit records, overwriting the oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner using Audit Log maintenance.

    It is critical that when the TPS is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it takes action to mitigate the failure. The IDPS performs a critical security function, so its continued ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000091-IDPS-00193

    Group
  • The SMS and TPS must provide log information in a format that can be extracted and used by centralized analysis tools.

    Centralized review and analysis of log records from multiple SMS and TPS components gives the organization the capability to better detect distributed attacks and provides increased data points for...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000131-IDPS-00011

    Group
  • The SMS must be configured to remove or disable nonessential capabilities on SMS and TPS, which are not required for operation or not related to IDPS functionality.

    An IDPS can be capable of providing a wide variety of capabilities. Not all of these capabilities are necessary. Unnecessary services, functions, and applications increase the attack surface (sum o...

  • SRG-NET-000228-IDPS-00196

    Group
  • The TPS must detect, at a minimum, mobile code that is unsigned or exhibiting unusual behavior, has not undergone a risk assessment, or is prohibited for use based on a risk assessment.

    Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution ...

    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000235-IDPS-00169

    Group
  • The TPS must fail to a secure state which maintains access control mechanisms when the IDPS hardware, software, or firmware fails on initialization/shutdown or experiences a sudden abort during normal operation (also known as "Fail closed").

    Failure to a known safe state helps prevent systems from failing to a state that may cause loss of data or unauthorized access to system resources. Preserving information system state information a...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000362-IDPS-00198

    Group
  • The TPS must protect against or limit the effects of known types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing signatures.

    If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of TPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key bound...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000192-IDPS-00140

    Group
  • The TPS must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by ensuring that security policies, signatures, rules, and anomaly detection techniques are applied to outbound communications traffic.

    The TPS must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave which can affect either internal or external systems. These attacks may use legitimate or rogue endpoints ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000273-IDPS-00198

    Group
  • The TPS must block outbound ICMP Destination Unreachable, Redirect, and Address Mask reply messages.

  • SRG-NET-000246-IDPS-00205

    Group
  • The SMS must install updates on the TPS for application software files, signature definitions, detection heuristics, and vendor-provided rules when new releases are available in accordance with organizational configuration management policy and procedures.

    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000249-IDPS-00176

    Group
  • The TPS must block malicious code.

    Configuring the TPS to delete and/or quarantine based on local organizational incident handling procedures minimizes the impact of this code on the network.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-NET-000248-IDPS-00206

    Group
  • The TPS must generate a log record so an alert can be configured to, at a minimum, the system administrator when malicious code is detected.

    Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be i...
    Rule High Severity
  • SRG-NET-000384-IDPS-00209

    Group
  • The TPS must detect network services that have not been authorized or approved by the ISSO or ISSM, at a minimum, through use of a site-approved TPS device profile.

    Unauthorized or unapproved network services lack organizational verification or validation and therefore may be unreliable or serve as malicious rogues for valid services. Examples of network ser...

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.
