SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must not use SNMP Versions 1 or 2.
SNMP Versions 1 and 2 are not considered secure. Without the strong authentication and privacy that is provided by the SNMP Version 3 User-based Security Model (USM), an unauthorized user can gain ...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000515-NDM-000325
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must off-load audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Th...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must use automated mechanisms to alert security personnel to threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., CTOs) and IAW CJCSM 6510.01B.
CJCSM 6510.01B, "Cyber Incident Handling Program", in subsection e.(6)(c) sets forth three requirements for Cyber events detected by an automated system: If the cyber event is detected by an automa...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must employ centrally managed authentication server(s).
The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services is required for network device management. Maintaining local administrato...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000344
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must use DoD-approved PKI rather than proprietary or self-signed device certificates.
DoD Instruction 8520.02, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Public Key (PK) Enabling mandates that certificates must be issued by the DoD PKI or by a DoD-approved PKI for authentication, digital s...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must not use Password Profiles.
Password profiles override settings made in the Minimum Password Complexity window. If Password Profiles are used they can bypass password complexity requirements.Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must not use the default admin account password.
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational administrators must be uniquely identified and authenticated for all network management accesses to prevent potential mis...Rule High Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000334
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an audit log record when the Data Plane CPU utilization is 100%.
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000395-NDM-000310
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must authenticate Network Time Protocol sources.
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 ma...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000148-NDM-000346
Group -
The Palo Alto device must be configured with only one local account to be used as the account of last resort in the event the authentication server is unavailable.
Authentication for administrative (privileged level) access to the device is required at all times. An account can be created on the device's local database for use when the authentication server i...Rule Medium Severity
