SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.
Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when condu...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000373-NDM-000298
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must be configured to synchronize internal information system clocks with the primary and secondary time sources located in different geographic regions using redundant authoritative time sources.
The loss of connectivity to a particular authoritative time source will result in the loss of time synchronization (free-run mode) and increasingly inaccurate time stamps on audit events and other ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000374-NDM-000299
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time and ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must accept and verify Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.
The use of PIV credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access. DOD has mandated the use of the CAC to support identity management and personal authentication f...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330
Group -
The Palo Alto Networks security platform must only allow the use of secure protocols that implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the integrity of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal 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. Note that HTTP OCSP is permitted to ...Rule Medium Severity -
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

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.
