Hi OPSAWG experts, We have a new draft (draft-hu-opsawg-sec-config-yang-00) that focuses on security configuration checks for network devices. It comes from real problems and requirements on the live network. Weak or incorrect configurations are the main factors of network insecurity. Insecure configurations can be exploited to launch a network intrusion by attackers easily. Security configuration checks can reduce network security risks during the usage of devices. The first step of the security configuration check is to collect security configuration information from devices. Then, the value of the collected configuration item will be compared with the security configuration benchmark to determine whether the configuration item is secure. The security configuration benchmark is the recommended value of the configuration item to ensure basic device security.
This draft attempts to define the model of the security configurations to be collected (Currently, weak algorithms, insecure protocols, insecure feature status, short key length and unchanged default settings are included.) and how to obtain them through the NETCONF/Yang mechanism. This draft is essentially a specific requirement and solution for security O&M. Because it is relatively unique, we submit it to the OPSAWG WG and hope to get the help and comments from experts here. Thanks a lot! B.R.

Title: YANG Data Models for Security Configuration Check Authors: Feifei HU Yu HUANG Lei YAN Name: draft-hu-opsawg-sec-config-yang-00.txt Pages: 16 Dates: 2024-10-21 Abstract: Security configuration refers to the status setting of product security features/functions to reduce network security risks during product use. This document defines YANG data models for the security configuration check.
