12.5: Centralize Network Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing (AAA) ============================================================= Centralize network AAA. .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 * - Asset Type - Security Function - Implementation Groups * - Network - Protect - 2, 3 Dependencies ------------ * Safeguard 2.1: Establish and Maintain a Software Inventory Inputs ----------- #. :code:`GV5`: Authorized Software Inventory #. :code:`GV35`: Assets that are part of the network infrastructure Operations ---------- #. Use Input 1 :code:`GV5` to identify and enumerate all AAA services within the enterprise :code:`GV38` (M1) #. For each centralized AAA point indentifed in Operation 1, determine whether it is necessary or can be consolidated #. Identify and enumerate authentication points that are unnecesary or can be consolidated (M2) #. Identify and enumerate authentication points that are necesary and cannot be consolidated (M3) #. Use the output of Operation 1 to check if each asset in Input 2 :code:`GV35` is covered by at least one AAA system #. Identify and enumerate network infrastructure assets that are covered by at least one AAA system (M4) #. Identify and enumerate network infrastructure assets that are not covered by an AAA system (M5) Measures -------- * M1 = Count of AAA services within the enterprise * M2 = Count of unnecessary AAA services * M3 = Count of necessary AAA services * M4 = Count of network infrastructure covered by AAA services * M5 = Count of network infrastructure not covered by AAA services * M6 = Count of :code:`GV35` Metrics ------- Centralized AAA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Percentage of properly centralized AAA services * - **Calculation** - :code:`M3 / M1` Network Coverage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. list-table:: * - **Metric** - | Percentage of network infrastructure assets managed through AAA * - **Calculation** - :code:`M4 / M6` .. history .. authors .. license
