The HPE Alletra Storage ArcusOS device 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 ...
V-283382
LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The HPE Alletra Storage ArcusOS device must enforce password complexity by requiring at least one uppercase character, one lowercase character, one numeric character, and one special character be used.Use of complex passwords helps to increase the time and resources required to compromise the password. Password complexity, or strength, is a measure ...

LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The HPE Alletra Storage ArcusOS device 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 generate...

The HPE Alletra Storage ArcusOS device must be configured to authenticate SNMP messages using a FIPS-validated Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC).It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time aler...

LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The HPE Alletra Storage ArcusOS device must terminate all network connections at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after five minutes of inactivity, except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management se...
