Rules and Groups employed by this XCCDF Profile

  • SRG-APP-000065-NDM-000214

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must enforce the limit of three consecutive invalid logon attempts.

    By limiting the number of failed logon attempts, the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced.
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000068-NDM-000215

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must display the Standard Mandatory DoD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the device.

    Display of the DoD-approved use notification before granting access to the network device ensures privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executi...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000091-NDM-000223

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate audit records when successful/unsuccessful attempts to access privileges occur.

    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...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000098-NDM-000228

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must produce audit log records containing information (FQDN, unique hostname, management IP address) to establish the source of events.

    In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know the source of the event. The source may be a component, module, or pro...
    Rule Low Severity
  • SRG-APP-000142-NDM-000245

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must be configured to prohibit the use of all unnecessary and/or nonsecure functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.

    In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000516-NDM-000317

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational administrators (or processes acting on behalf of organizational administrators).

    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 Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000156-NDM-000250

    Group
  • The Palo Alto Networks security platform must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

    A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000164-NDM-000252

    Group
  • If multifactor authentication is not available and passwords must be used, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must enforce a minimum 15-character password length.

    Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks. Password length is one factor of several that helps to d...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000166-NDM-000254

    Group
  • If multifactor authentication is not available and passwords must be used, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one uppercase character be used.

    Use of a complex passwords 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 resisti...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-APP-000167-NDM-000255

    Group
  • If multifactor authentication is not available and passwords must be used, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one lowercase 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...

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.
