Title

The Tanium application must retain the session lock until the user reestablishes access using established identification and authentication procedures. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Unattended systems are susceptible to unauthorized use and should be locked when unattended. This protects critical and sensitive data from exposure to unauthorized personnel with physical access to the system.

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Tanium >> Tanium Server. 5. Validate the value for REG_DWORD "ForceSOAPSSLClientCert" is set to "1". 6. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Tanium >> Tanium Server. 7. Validate the following keys exist and are configured: REG_SZ "ClientCertificateAuthField" For example: X509v3 Subject Alternative Name. REG_SZ "ClientCertificateAuthRegex" For example-DoD: .+?Name:\s*?(\S+@[._a-zA-Z0-9]+).* Note: This regex may vary. REG_SZ "ClientCertificateAuth" For example: C:\Program Files\Tanium\Tanium Server\dod.pem If the value for REG_DWORD "ForceSOAPSSLClientCert" is not set to "1" and the remaining registry values are not configured, this is a finding.
