Application management includes the ability to control the number of users and user sessions that utilize an application. Limiting the number of allowed users and sessions per user is helpful in limiting risks related to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. This requirement addresses concurrent sessions for information system accounts and does not address concurrent sessions by single users via multiple system accounts. The maximum number of concurrent sessions should be defined based on mission needs and the operational environment for each system. Edit the BEC configuration file (C:\ProgramData\Bromium\BMS\settings.json) to set the concurrent session parameter. The options are "unlimited" and "1". Unlimited is not a valid selection in DoD.
Checks: C-80095r1_chk

Inspect the configuration file on the BEC. BEC configuration file (C:\ProgramData\Bromium\BMS\settings.json). Verify the concurrent session parameter is set to "1". If the BEC concurrent session parameter is not set to "1", this is a finding.

Fix: F-87229r1_fix

Edit the BEC configuration file (C:\ProgramData\Bromium\BMS\settings.json) to set the concurrent session parameter to "1".

Without the capability to capture and log all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. By default, untrusted file, web, and application activity is captured for each user on the BEC. Additional custom rules can be created within the "Policy" section of the BEC. The security administrator can determine if additional rules are needed based on organization-based requirements and the mission. The Bromium monitoring module includes a base monitoring policy that detects malicious file, registry, process, and network activity. The monitoring module also features the ability to create custom rules to monitor user activity, such as: 1. Read operations on files and registry settings; 2. Write operations on files and registry settings; 3. Read/write operations on files and registry settings; and 4. Processes being launched.
Checks: C-80099r1_chk

If custom rules are required, verify that monitoring rules are enabled. Custom rules may or may not be present on the BEC, depending on the site's need. It is not mandatory to use this feature, just that the feature be configured to be used in case it is needed. 1. From the management console, click on "Policies". 2. Select the base policy that covers all devices. 3. Within the base policy, select the "Features" tab, navigate to the "Monitoring" section, and verify that "Host Monitoring" is enabled. 4. Click on "Policies" and verify "Monitoring Rules" is checked. If the Bromium Enterprise Controller (BEC) is not configured for authorized users to capture and log content related to a user session, this is a finding.

Fix: F-87233r1_fix

Configure a custom rule to view a user's activity. Ensure host monitoring is enabled in the base or applicable delta policy. 1. From the management console, click on "Policies". 2. Select the base policy that covers all devices. 3. Within the base policy, select the "Features" tab, navigate to the "Monitoring" section, and enable "Host Monitoring". 4. Click "Save and Deploy". Configure the Custom Rule to monitor one or more Bromium vSentry clients. 1. Click the arrow next to "Policies" and select "Monitoring Rules". 2. Click "Rule Options" and select "Create Custom Rule". 3. Create a name for the custom rule. 4. Apply the custom rule to a group. 5. Configure the applications, triggers, and any exclusions associated with the activity to be monitored. 6. Click "Save".

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if an endpoint fails to connect to the management server within a defined time period. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the event capture capability, malicious activity, or insider threat. Failure for a vSentry client to report in may be caused by network failures, unauthorized users escalating privileges to disable the security software, altering local hostname resolution settings, etc.
Checks: C-80101r1_chk

Verify that the reporting threshold for endpoints has been documented. Navigate to the management console, click on the selection arrow next to "Events". Verify the organization-defined time period that the vSentry client must connect to the BEC for logging or policy update purposes is configured. If the BEC does not generate a log record when a Bromium vSentry client has not connected to the BEC for logging or policy update purposes for an organization-defined time period, this is a finding.

Fix: F-87235r1_fix

Define the organization-defined time period for when an alert should be generated.

Since Bromium multifactor authentication is implemented through use of the enclave's directory service, the Bromium account of last resort cannot comply with the DoD requirement for multifactor authentication. Since local account password complexity requirements are not met, a weak password could be hacked, giving immediate privileged access to the BEC. Bromium, Inc. recommends that the setup account and any other local accounts be removed from the BEC application. In the event of a system-wide failure to connect to the authentication server, system recovery, or other organization-defined emergency, an authorized and credentialed administrator of the host server, can recover the setup account or create another account when needed. When the emergency is over, the account must once again be removed. Note: Either create a new account and password or change the password in order to comply with BROM-00-000690.
Checks: C-80107r1_chk

Ask the site representatives if they have developed and documented an emergency local account recovery procedure for the BEC Account of Last Resort. Examine the BEC SSP. If the BEC has not developed and documented an emergency local account recovery procedure for the BEC Account of Last Resort, this is a finding.

Fix: F-87241r1_fix

Remove all local accounts after setup. Use the Bromium system recovery process to either create another account or recover the setup account when needed. 1. Using the BEC server setup application, generate the password for the local Account of Last Resort using a FIPS 140-2 compliant password generator. 2. Configure the BEC and all BEC user accounts to leverage an external authentication server (e.g., Active Directory). 3. Upon successful configuration and connection of the BEC to the authentication server, remove the local BEC account. In the event of a system-wide failure to connect to the authentication server, system recovery, or other organization-defined emergency: 1. Gain access to the Windows Server running BEC. 2. Run the BEC server setup application (BrBMSSettings.exe). 3. Click on "Database Settings". 4. Check the box next to "Request new administrator user". 5. Click "Save". Remove the account once normal operations resume. Either create a new account and password each time the account is retried or change the password each time the same account is recovered in order to comply with BROM-00-000690.

Execution of malicious code represents an immediate threat to the security posture of the endpoint. Automatic session termination addresses the termination of user-initiated logical sessions in contrast to the termination of network connections that are associated with communications sessions (i.e., network disconnect). A logical session (for local, network, and remote access) is initiated whenever a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) accesses an organizational information system. Such user sessions can be terminated (and thus terminate user access) without terminating network sessions. The DoD has selected automatic termination as the default response. However, this does not fully leverage Bromium's ability to capture near-real-time forensic data as an attack occurs. Note that the malicious code is in a micro-VM, thus it cannot impact the endpoint processes outside of the VM. Note: Letting a known harmful program run is restricted to testing platforms, for forensics collection, or when justified by mission needs. STIG provides guidance to prevent the vClients from running known malicious applications or closing the micro-VM with malicious code is detected.
Checks: C-80109r1_chk

Review documentation for test system or mission need that justifies an exception to this setting in order to collect forensics about the malicious code. If this documentation exists, this is not a finding. Review base policy to ensure that the micro-VM will terminate the user session upon the detection of malicious activity. 1. Using the management console, navigate to "Policies" and select the base policy. 2. Navigate to "Security". 3. Navigate to and inspect the "Alert user on a threat event?" policy setting. Check every applicable Delta Policy using the same procedure to verify that the Base Policy has not been superseded. If the Bromium vSentry client is not configured to automatically terminate a micro-VM when any malicious activities are detected within the micro-VM, this is a finding.

Fix: F-87243r1_fix

Review base policy to ensure that the micro-VM will terminate the user session upon the detection of malicious activity. Document test system or mission needs that justifies an exception to this setting in order to collect forensics about the malicious code. Also document circumstances under this function that can temporarily be used to collect forensics information. 1. Using the management console, navigate to "Policies" and select the Base Policy. 2. Navigate to "Security". 3. Navigate to the "Alert user on a threat event?" policy setting. 4. Choose the "Stop operation and alert user" setting. 5. Click "Save and Deploy". Note: Do not supersede this policy in any Delta Policy.

Without the ability to immediately disconnect or disable remote access, an attack or other compromise would not be immediately stopped. Applications must have the capability to immediately disconnect current users remotely accessing the information system and/or disable further remote access. The speed of disconnect or disablement varies based on the criticality of missions/business functions and the need to eliminate immediate or future remote access to organizational information systems. The remote access application (e.g., VPN client) may implement features, such as automatic disconnect (or user-initiated disconnect) in case of adverse information based on an indicator of compromise or attack.

If shared/group account credentials are not terminated when individuals leave the group, the user who left the group can still gain access even though they are no longer authorized. A shared/group account credential is a shared form of authentication that allows multiple individuals to access the application using a single account. There may also be instances when specific user actions need to be performed on the information system without unique user identification or authentication. Examples of credentials include passwords and group membership certificates. Note: Other passwords that should be considered for rotation or changes include the password to decrypt the malware manifest and the service account used to connect BEC to SQL Server.-Note: If the Account of Last Resort has been removed after installation and configuration per vendor-recommended best practice, there is no need to rotate this password.   Note: If the Account of Last Resort has been removed after installation and configuration per vendor-recommended best practice, there is no need to rotate this password.
Checks: C-80115r1_chk

If the Account of Last Resort has been removed after installation and configuration per vendor-recommended best practice (BROM-00-000300), this is not a finding. Examine the site's documentation. Verify there is a documented procedure for changing the password for the Account of Last Resort when an individual with knowledge of the password leaves the group. An acceptable practice is to either create a new account and password each time or change the password. If a procedure for changing the password for the Account of Last Resort when an individual with knowledge of the password leaves the group is not documented or implemented, this is a finding.

If authorized individuals do not have the ability to modify auditing parameters in response to a changing threat environment, the organization may not be able to respond effectively and important forensic information may be lost. This requirement enables organizations to extend or limit auditing as necessary to meet organizational requirements. Auditing that is limited to conserve information system resources may be extended to address certain threat situations. In addition, auditing may be limited to a specific set of events to facilitate audit reduction, analysis, and reporting. Organizations can establish time thresholds in which audit actions are changed (for example, near real-time, within minutes, or within hours). DoD requires that privileges be assigned to roles and groups rather than individual user accounts. The BEC audit log ("history.log") is configured by default to capture all administrator activity. This cannot be disabled. Roles/Groups: Users are assigned to groups, and groups are assigned to roles. Roles can be customized to include or disable all admin privileges on the Controller. The Administrator role is configured by default; additional roles can be customized and defined by the site. The event log setting within the endpoint policy editor is selectable via list. Filtering log events is recommended via the event server (e.g., SIEM or syslog). Any modifications to the event criteria take effect immediately upon change. A default policy must be created for each BEC. DoD requires the Logging level in the default policy to be set to "Event" at a minimum unless there are overriding operational and incident requirements.
Checks: C-80117r1_chk

Review each role and verify that at least one role has the "Edit Policies" privilege. Also verify that not all roles have the "Edit Policies" permission. 1.

Without the capability to remotely view/hear all content related to a user session, investigations into suspicious user activity would be hampered. Real-time monitoring allows authorized personnel to take action before additional damage is done. The ability to observe user sessions as they are happening allows for interceding in ongoing events that after-the-fact review of captured content would not allow. The Bromium monitoring module can capture end-user activity related to applications, processes, files, registry activity, and file activity. Custom rules can also be created to report on desired activity and conditions. Event data is sent back to the BEC without having to access the endpoint.
Checks: C-80119r1_chk

Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a delayed or incomplete analysis of an ongoing attack. This requirement requires that the content captured in audit records be managed from a central location (necessitating automation). Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. Application components requiring centralized audit log management must have the capability to support centralized management. Note: The central log server must be configured with alerts and notifications that are required by the various requirements in this STIG. It must also be configured to alert the ISSO and system administrator when communications is lost with the BEC.

To ensure applications have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, applications need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial installation of the application and is closely associated with the DBA and system administrator roles. The DBA or system administrator will usually coordinate the allocation of physical drive space with the application owner/installer and the application will prompt the installer to provide the capacity information, the physical location of the disk, or both. The BEC administrator must work with site DBA and system administrator to obtain storage allocation requirements for "history.log". Typical database disk storage consumption is 5 K per day per device. See "Database and Network Usage Guidelines" section in the Bromium Secure Platform Deployment Guide at https://documentation.bromium.com/4_0/Deployment%20Guide/Bromium_Secure_Platform_Deployment_Guide_4_0_Update_3.pdf.
Checks: C-80125r1_chk

Ask the site representatives if they have developed and implemented a solution for storing the contents of "history.log" to minimize the risk of exceeding the system's storage capacity. If the option to forward the contents of "history.log" to a centralized events server was implemented, check that the agent associated with the central log server has been installed on the BEC. If the option to back up the contents of "history.log" was implemented, check that the backup solution has been configured to include the "history.log" files residing on the BEC. If the BEC does not manage log record storage capacity so "history.log" does not exceed physical drive space capacity allocated by the DBA and system administrator, this is a finding.

Fix: F-87259r1_fix

The BEC administrator must work with the site DBA and system administrator to obtain storage allocation requirements for "history.log". The "history.log" default size threshold is 5 MB. The system administrator has two options for managing storage of "history.log" contents. Option 1: (Preferred) 1. Automatically forward all contents of "history.log" to the site's central log server in real time.  2. Install the file monitoring agent that is provided by the site's centralized events server (e.g., syslog, SIEM) and configure to monitor and forward "history.log" (example: C:\Program Data\Bromium\BMS\Logs\history.log). Follow the instructions included with the central log server. Option 2 (use only with documentation of mission need): 1. Automatically back up all "history.log" files that have been aged out due to reaching maximum size threshold. Then delete the archived copies to free up room. NOTE: By default, the BEC server creates up to 5 archives. Though not recommended, the default maximum number of archives can be changed by editing the "audit_log_backup_count" parameter in "settings.json". (C:\ProgramData\Bromium\BMS\settings.json) 2. Follow the instructions included with the backup solution. Some solutions include an agent that must be installed on the BEC and some do not.

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 alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less). Upon loss of connection to the SQL Server, BEC will: 1. Immediately create a number of log entries in "default.log" and "worker.log"; 2. Refuse connections from the endpoints, which will result in the endpoints automatically storing local events (for future transfer when the SQL connection is restored); and 3. Immediately notify the BEC administrator during logon via the management console interface.

Allowing regular users to install software without explicit privileges creates the risk that untested or potentially malicious software will be installed on the system. Explicit privileges (escalated or administrative privileges) provide the regular user with explicit capabilities and control that exceed the rights of a regular user. Application functionality will vary, and while users are not permitted to install unapproved applications, there may be instances where the organization allows the user to install approved software packages, such as from an approved software repository. The application must enforce software installation by users based on what types of software installations are permitted (e.g., updates and security patches to existing software) and what types of installations are prohibited (e.g., software whose pedigree with regard to being potentially malicious is unknown or suspect) by the organization. This requirement applies, for example, to applications that provide the ability to extend application functionality (e.g., plug-ins, add-ons) and software management applications.
