CheckedNameTitle
SV-224760r1013798_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must limit the number of concurrent sessions to an organization-defined number for all accounts and/or account types.
SV-224761r1013800_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must initiate a session lock after a 15-minute period of inactivity.
SV-224762r1013803_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must use TLS 1.2, at a minimum, to protect the confidentiality of sensitive data during electronic dissemination using remote access.
SV-224763r1013805_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must display the Standard Mandatory DOD Notice and Consent Banner before granting access to the ISEC7 SPHERE.
SV-224764r1013808_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE server must be configured to have at least one user in the following Administrator roles: Security Administrator, Site Administrator, and Help Desk User.
SV-224765r1013811_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must alert the information system security officer (ISSO) and system administrator (SA) (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.
SV-224766r1013812_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must back up audit records at least every seven days onto a different system or system component than the system or component being audited, provide centralized management and configuration of the content to be captured in audit records generated by all ISEC7 SPHERE components, and offload audit records onto a different system or media than the system being audited.
SV-224767r1013815_ruleISEC7 SPHERE must disable or delete local account created during application installation and configuration.
SV-224768r1013818_ruleWhen using PKI-based authentication for user access, the ISEC7 SPHERE must validate certificates by constructing a certification path (which includes status information) to an accepted trust anchor.
SV-224769r1013821_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials.
SV-224770r1013824_ruleBefore establishing a local, remote, and/or network connection with any endpoint device, the ISEC7 SPHERE must use a bidirectional authentication mechanism configured with a FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to authenticate with the device.
SV-224771r1013827_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must allow the use of DOD PKI established certificate authorities for verification of the establishment of protected sessions.
SV-224772r1013830_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must protect the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information during preparation for transmission and during reception using cryptographic mechanisms.
SV-224773r1013833_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must be configured to leverage the enterprise directory service accounts and groups for ISEC7 SPHERE server admin identification and authentication.
SV-224774r1013835_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must configure the timeout for the console to be 15 minutes or less.
SV-224775r1013838_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE, Tomcat installation, and ISEC7 Suite monitor must be configured to use the Windows Trust Store for the storage of digital certificates and keys.
SV-224776r1013841_ruleIf cipher suites using pre-shared keys are used for device authentication, the ISEC7 SPHERE must have a minimum security strength of 112 bits or higher, must only be used in networks where both the client and server are government systems, must prohibit client negotiation to TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0, SSL 2.0, or SSL 3.0 and must prohibit or restrict the use of protocols that transmit unencrypted authentication information or use flawed cryptographic algorithm for transmission.
SV-224777r1013844_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must use FIPS-validated SHA-2 or higher hash function for digital signature generation and verification (nonlegacy use).
SV-224778r1013847_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must use a FIPS-validated cryptographic module to provision digital signatures.
SV-224779r1013850_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must use a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module to implement encryption services for unclassified information requiring confidentiality, generate cryptographic hashes, and to configure web management tools with FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to protect the confidentiality of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions.
SV-224780r1013853_ruleThe Apache Tomcat Manager Web app password must be cryptographically hashed with a DOD-approved algorithm.
SV-224781r1013855_ruleAll Web applications included with Apache Tomcat that are not required must be removed.
SV-224782r1013858_ruleLockOutRealm must not be removed from Apache Tomcat.
SV-224783r1013861_ruleThe LockOutRealm must be configured with a login failure count of 3.
SV-224784r1013864_ruleThe LockOutRealm must be configured with a login lockout time of 15 minutes.
SV-224785r1013867_ruleThe Manager Web app password must be configured as follows: -15 or more characters. -at least one lower case letter. -at least one upper case letter. -at least one number. -at least one special character.
SV-224786r1013870_ruleThe ISEC7 SPHERE must configure Enable HTTPS to use HTTP over SSL in Apache Tomcat.
