Findings (MAC I - Mission Critical Sensitive)

Finding ID Severity Title
V-207688 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must enable Antivirus, Anti-spyware, and Vulnerability Protection for all authorized traffic.
V-207689 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must produce audit records containing information to establish the source of the event, including, at a minimum, originating source address.
V-207707 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate a log record when unauthorized network services are detected.
V-207706 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must detect use of network services that have not been authorized or approved by the ISSM and ISSO, at a minimum.
V-207705 Medium Palo Alto Networks security platform components, including sensors, event databases, and management consoles must integrate with a network-wide monitoring capability.
V-207704 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must use a Vulnerability Protection Profile that blocks any critical, high, or medium threats.
V-207703 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must protect against or limit the effects of known and unknown types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing rate-based attack prevention behavior analysis (traffic thresholds).
V-207701 Medium To protect against unauthorized data mining, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must detect and prevent code injection attacks launched against application objects including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
V-207700 Medium To protect against unauthorized data mining, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must detect and prevent SQL and other code injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, queries, and fields.
V-207709 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must continuously monitor inbound communications traffic for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions.
V-207708 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an alert to the ISSO and ISSM, at a minimum, when unauthorized network services are detected.

V-207698 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must block outbound ICMP Destination Unreachable, Redirect, and Address Mask reply messages.
V-207691 Medium In the event of a logging failure caused by the lack of audit record storage capacity, the Palo Alto Networks security platform must continue generating and storing audit records if possible, overwriting the oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner.
V-207690 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must capture traffic of detected/dropped malicious code.
V-207693 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must detect and deny any prohibited mobile or otherwise malicious code at the enclave boundary.
V-207692 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must have a denial-of-service (DoS) Protection Profile for outbound traffic applied to a policy for traffic originating from the internal zone going to the external zone.
V-207695 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must detect and drop any prohibited mobile or otherwise malicious code at internal boundaries.
V-207694 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must install updates 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.
V-207697 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must automatically install updates to signature definitions, detection heuristics, and vendor-provided rules.
V-207696 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must send an immediate (within seconds) alert to, at a minimum, the SA when malicious code is detected.
V-207714 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when denial of service incidents are detected.
V-207715 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when new active propagation of malware infecting DoD systems or malicious code adversely affecting the operations and/or security of DoD systems is detected.
V-207710 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must continuously monitor outbound communications traffic for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions.
V-207711 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when intrusion detection events are detected which indicate a compromise or potential for compromise.
V-207712 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., IAVMs or CTOs) are detected.
V-207713 Medium The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when rootkits or other malicious software which allows unauthorized privileged or non-privileged access is detected.
V-207702 Low The Palo Alto Networks security platform must off-load log records to a centralized log server.
V-207716 Low The Palo Alto Networks security platform must off-load log records to a centralized log server in real-time.
