Checklist Summary:

The Cisco Secure Network Analytics (SNA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) is published as a tool to improve the security of Department of War (DoW) information systems. This guide provides the technical security policies, requirements, and implementation details for applying security concepts to the Cisco SNA platform. Cisco SNA is an agentless network detection and response (NDR) solution that uses telemetry from existing infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls) to provide enterprisewide visibility, behavioral analysis, and real-time threat detection.

Checklist Role:

• Business Productivity Application

Known Issues:

Not provided.

Target Audience:

Parties within the DoW and federal government’s computing environments can obtain the applicable STIG from the DoW Cyber Exchange website at https://cyber.mil/. This site contains the latest copies of STIGs, SRGs, and other related security information. Those without a common access card (CAC) that has DoW Certificates can obtain the STIG from https://public.cyber.mil/.

Target Operational Environment:

• Managed
• Specialized Security-Limited Functionality (SSLF)

Testing Information:

Not provided.

Regulatory Compliance:

Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 8500.01

Comments/Warnings/Miscellaneous:

Not provided.

Disclaimer:

DISA accepts no liability for the consequences of applying specific configuration settings made on the basis of the SRGs/STIGs. It must be noted that the configuration settings specified should be evaluated in a local, representative test environment before implementation in a production environment, especially within large user populations. The extensive variety of environments makes it impossible to test these configuration settings for all potential software configurations. For some production environments, failure to test before implementation may lead to a loss of required functionality. Evaluating the risks and benefits to a system’s particular circumstances and requirements is the system owner’s responsibility. The evaluated risks resulting from not applying specified configuration settings must be approved by the responsible AO. Furthermore, DISA implies no warranty that the application of all specified configurations will make a system 100 percent secure. Security guidance is provided for the DoW. While other agencies and organizations are free to use it, care must be given to ensure that all applicable security guidance is applied at both the device hardening level and the architectural level due to the fact that some settings may not be configurable in environments outside the DoW architecture.
