High |
The Akamai Luna Portal must employ Single Sign On (SSO) with Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) integration to verify authentication settings. |
The use of authentication servers or other centralized management servers for providing centralized authentication services is required for network device management. Maintaining local administrator accounts for daily usage on each network device without centralized management is not scalable or feasible. Without centralized management, it is likely that credentials for some... |

V-76499
|
Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 15 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 session enabled on the console or console port that has been left unattended. In addition, quickly terminating an idle session will also free up resources committed by... |

Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must prohibit password reuse for a minimum of five generations. |
Password complexity, or strength, is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.
To meet password policy requirements, passwords need to be changed at specific policy-based intervals.
If the network device allows the user to consecutively reuse their password when that password... |

V-76495
|
Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must enforce a 60-day maximum password lifetime restriction. |
Any password, no matter how complex, can eventually be cracked. Therefore, passwords need to be changed at specific intervals.
One method of minimizing this risk is to use complex passwords and periodically change them. If the network device does not limit the lifetime of passwords and force users to change... |

If multifactor authentication is not supported and passwords must be used, the Akamai Luna Portal must enforce password complexity by requiring that at least one special 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 resisting attempts at guessing and brute-force attacks.
Password complexity is one factor of several that determine how long it... |

The Akamai Luna Portal 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 determine strength and how long it takes to crack a password.
The shorter the password, the lower the number... |

Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must audit the execution of privileged functions. |
Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and... |

The Akamai Luna Portal must notify the SAs and ISSO when accounts are created, or enabled when previously disabled. |
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply enable a new or disabled account. Notification of account enabling is one method for mitigating this risk. A... |

The Akamai Luna Portal must automatically audit account enabling actions. |
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to enable a new or disabled account.
Notification of account enabling is one method for mitigating this risk. A comprehensive... |

V-76473
|
Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the SAs and ISSO when accounts are removed. |
When application accounts are removed, administrator accessibility is affected. Accounts are used for identifying individual device administrators or for identifying the device processes themselves.
In order to detect and respond to events that affect administrator accessibility and device processing, devices must audit account removal actions and, as required, notify the... |

The Akamai Luna Portal must generate alerts that can be forwarded to the SAs and ISSO when accounts are modified. |
Once an attacker establishes initial access to a system, the attacker often attempts to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is for the attacker to simply modify an existing account. Notification of account modification is one method for mitigating this risk. A comprehensive account... |

Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must automatically audit account removal actions. |
Account management, as a whole, ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel. Auditing account removal actions will support account management procedures. When device management accounts are terminated, user or service accessibility may be affected. Auditing also ensures... |

Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must automatically audit account modification. |
Since the accounts in the network device are privileged or system-level accounts, account management is vital to the security of the network device. Account management by a designated authority ensures access to the network device is being controlled in a secure manner by granting access to only authorized personnel with... |

Medium |
The Akamai Luna Portal must automatically audit account creation. |
Upon gaining access to a network device, an attacker will often first attempt to create a persistent method of reestablishing access. One way to accomplish this is to create a new account. Notification of account creation helps to mitigate this risk. Auditing account creation provides the necessary reconciliation that account... |

The Akamai Luna Portal must initiate a session logoff after a 15-minute period of inactivity. |
A session lock is a temporary network device or administrator-initiated action taken when the administrator stops work but does not log out of the network device. Rather than relying on the user to manually lock their management session prior to vacating the vicinity, network devices need to be able to... |

The Akamai Luna Portal 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 incident or identify those responsible for one.
Audit records can be generated from various components within the information system (e.g.,... |
