Tanium 7.0 STIG:
TANS-SV-000035
(in versions v1 r2 through v1 r1)
Title
The SSLHonorCipherOrder must be configured to disable weak encryption algorithms on the Tanium Server. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Use of weak or untested encryption algorithms undermines the purposes of using encryption to protect data. The application must implement cryptographic modules adhering to the higher standards approved by the federal government since this provides assurance they have been tested and validated.
Check Content
Access the Tanium Server interactively. Log on with an account with administrative privileges to the server. Access the server's registry by typing: regedit <enter>. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Wow6432Node >> Tanium >> Tanium Server. Verify the existence of a DWORD "SSLHonorCipherOrder" with a value of "0x00000001" (hex). If the DWORD "SSLHonorCipherOrder" does not exist with a value of "0x00000001" (hex), this is a finding.
