Storage Device Audit Reports

Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance is a substantial part of any information assurance program. The GRC requires information systems to be audited, regardless of the standard to which the audit is performed. These reports provide the audit results for NetApp Data ONTAP and Brocade FabricOS.

One of the initial steps in a successful GRC program is to set configuration guidelines and establish a supportable set of security policies. Tenable.sc Continuous View (CV) can measure compliance, using audit files that cover a wide range of major regulations and other auditable standards. Tenable provides over 500 audit files, which are available for download from the Customer Support Portal, in categories such as operating systems, applications, databases, and network devices. Tenable products can be used to audit systems based on SCAP content, and many Tenable audit policies have been certified by the Center for Internet Security (CIS). For more information on using audit files, see the Nessus Compliance Checks: Auditing System Configurations and Content document.

The report is available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The report can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Compliance & Configuration Assessment. The report requirements are:

• Tenable.sc 4.8.1
• Nessus 8.5.2
• Compliance Data

Audit files can be customized to match the values defined in an organization’s corporate policies. The organization can review several audit files and then create a specific audit file that applies directly its policies. When an audit is performed, for each individual compliance check, Nessus attempts to determine if the host is compliant, non-compliant, or if the results are inconclusive and need to be verified manually. Unlike a vulnerability check that only reports if the vulnerability is actually present, a compliance check always reports a result. This way, the data can be used as the basis of an audit report to show that a host passed or failed a specific test, or if it could not be properly tested.

Tenable.sc CV is the market leader in providing a unique combination of vulnerability detection, compliance auditing, and reporting. Tenable.sc CV supports auditing more technologies than any other vendor including operating systems, network devices, hypervisors, databases, tablets, phones, web servers, and critical infrastructure. Nessus is continuously updated with information about advanced threats and zero-day vulnerabilities, and new types of regulatory compliance configuration audits. This makes Tenable.sc CV the market-defining continuous network monitoring platform, and Nessus the market-defining vulnerability scanning for auditors and security analysts.

NetApp Data ONTAP Compliance Checks - Tenable.sc CV using Nessus has the ability to test the configuration for systems running NetApp Data ONTAP and confirm that it is in accordance with security policy standards. The audit file includes the Best Practices for Secure Configuration of Data ONTAP 7G. The audit files include checks for NFS, CIFS, SnapVault, SnapMirror, management, protocol access, and many more configuration settings. More information about audit files can be found in the Tenable Discussion Forums, Customer Support Portal, Nessus Compliance Checks, and Nessus Compliance Reference.

Brocade FabricOS Compliance Checks - Tenable.sc Continuous View (SC CV) using Nessus has the ability to audit the configuration settings on systems running Brocade Fabric OS (FOS). Brocade Fabric OS (FOS) runs on the Brocade family of Fibre Channel and FICON switches. This audit includes checks for password policy, enabled services, lockout policy, insecure service configurations, authentication related settings, as well as logging and audit settings.
