1.3 Product Overview
The RedSeal Platform is a Network Infrastructure Security Management (NISM) platform that
continuously identifies critical attack risk and non-compliance in complex enterprise security infrastructure.
It provides organizations with a firm understanding of where security is working, where improvement is
needed, and where the greatest cyber-attack risks lie. This understanding, or “security intelligence”,
enables organizations to allocate resources where needed, embed security into daily operations, and take
prioritized action to systematically reduce attack risk over time. At the heart of RedSeal is a visual, end-to-
end model of complex security infrastructure. The model includes the network (routers, load balancers,
wireless controllers, etc.) connected assets and attributes (hosts, vulnerabilities, business value, etc.) and
security controls (firewalls) that protect those assets. Automated analytics then examine the model to
deliver security intelligence that drives both immediate defensive action and longer term security strategy.
Examples of RedSeal security analytics include access policy compliance (PCI, NERC, etc.), perimeter
defense, network segmentation, secure device configuration, exposure-based vulnerability management,
firewall rule optimization, security performance management, scan gap detection, and unmanaged device
identification. The RedSeal Platform is comprised of a Server (available as software for Windows, a
hardware appliance, or an OVA virtual appliance), a Client GUI compatible with user desktop operating
systems, and an optional supervisory module for managing multi-server deployments (RedSeal Server
Manager for Windows). RedSeal offers extensive human and machine interface options to enable
integration with enterprise-class operations and systems. Integrations include leading network and security
devices, vulnerability assessment scanners, configuration database management systems, ticketing and
workflow management systems, endpoint management systems, GRC systems, SIEMs, syslog servers, GUI
client and web-based human interfaces, and a published REST API for custom integration. All RedSeal
components support LDAP and RADIUS2
authentication.
RedSeal collects configuration files and vulnerability scans from the network and performs a set of network
access checks against all known ingress points within an organization’s network infrastructure. It uses this
information to build a topology map. It then compares the configurations and data it receives against a set
of “best practices” baselines and defined zone-based access policies, to identify high-risk security
violations and policy compliance issues such as weak firewall policies, default passwords, insecure
services, known vulnerabilities, and access permitted by the as-built network that violates zone access
policies. RedSeal uses this information, user-defined values assigned to assets, and the asset exposure to
threat sources and potential downstream access to provide risk scoring and annotated maps with potential
attack vectors. It also provides advanced reporting capabilities, enabling network administration and
security personnel to identify and mitigate configuration issues and other threats.
The RedSeal architecture is comprised of three major components: RedSeal Server, RedSeal Client, and
RedSeal Server Manager. The RedSeal Client is used for the management of a single RedSeal Server,
while the RedSeal Server Manager is used for the management of one-to-many RedSeal Servers.
The RedSeal Server component is comprised largely of a Java-based server (also called the RedSeal
Server) as well as an Admin server which monitors and controls system processes and configuration. The
RedSeal Server includes reporting and analytics engines as well as a Threat Reference Library (TRL).
Additionally, an Apache Tomcat server provides a web-based reporting interface and exposes a
Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) for third-party
integration. The REST API is also used for management from the RedSeal Server Manager, over
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). The RedSeal Server component provides an Admin
Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows, which provides initial configuration tasks. On the appliance-
and virtual appliance versions, a Command Line Interface (CLI) provides initial configuration and database
management, but has been strictly limited to provide only these functions. This CLI is accessed via a
direct, serial connection. Lastly, a PostgreSQL server provides the backend for the RedSeal Server’s
application storage. RedSeal uses an object-relational mapping library and a business intelligence and data
visualization toolkit to analyze and display network data.

Import of data from monitored networked assets is achieved using a plugin architecture comprised of two
different types of plugins: Communications and Data. The Communications Plugins provide connectivity
to external devices for facilitating data import, supporting a wide variety of protocols, including HTTPS,
SMB3
, SSH4
, SCP5
, SFTP6
, JDBC7
, and other vendor-specific protocols to access device data directly from
the device or from CMDBs8
. The Data Plugins provide parsers for vendor-specific device configuration
files and vulnerability scan data. RedSeal can monitor most layer 3 network devices with the use of these
vendor-specific Data Plugins. The Data Plugins include specific commands and credentials needed for
each type of device across a wide variety of vendors.
The RedSeal Server Manager enables centralized monitoring, administration, and management of one or
more RedSeal Servers from a single administrative web interface, protected with HTTPS. It aims to
improve operational efficiency in an organization through centralized administration, automation of
administrative tasks, troubleshooting support, and monitoring key health indicators and security metrics
across multiple RedSeal Servers. Management of the RedSeal Server is achieved using a REST API.
RedSeal Server Manager users can be given permissions to monitor and manage all attached RedSeal
Servers or can be assigned to specific RedSeal Servers. The graphical tool on the RedSeal Server Manager
allows administrators to view the health of all attached RedSeal Servers, initiate backups and restores, and
perform software updates. This tool also provides consolidated views of key security metrics and health
indicators gathered from each RedSeal Server across the network to provide a common dashboard capable
of showing an entire enterprise-class network and drilling down to detailed data. In addition, the Server
Manager includes a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with a FIPS-validated cryptographic module and a
modified Apache Tomcat server. These components ensure protected communications between the Server
Manager and its attached RedSeal Servers when using HTTPS with Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1.2.
The RedSeal Server Manager also includes a MongoDB server to store monitored network reports received
from the RedSeal Servers, RedSeal Server health indicators, and TRL updates.
The RedSeal Client is comprised solely of the Client User Interface (UI) application, which is a Java thick
client. The RedSeal Client is downloaded from the RedSeal Server and is used to manage the RedSeal
Server using HTTPS with TLS v1.2. The RedSeal Server also sends the Client topology and query results
to display for Client users. The RedSeal Client allows users to view the network topology, drill down to
determine the sources of modeling issues and risks, create zones and policies, analyze the network, and
create reports describing risk and vulnerability data.
Due to the capabilities described above, RedSeal can assist any organization in understanding the degree of
risk in their network infrastructure. RedSeal enables commercial organizations and Federal agencies to
rapidly establish a risk management framework and continuously monitor a risk management program
described in FISMA and underlying documents such as NIST Special Publication 800-53 Security and
Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations and NIST 800-137 Risk
Management Framework. With RedSeal, Federal agencies can access to quantifiable metrics that show
current risk as well as risk trends. RedSeal's Zones and Policy enable Federal CIO's and CISO's to validate
that their networks are compliant with organizational missions and business functions, as well as the
requirements of federal legislation, directives, regulations, policies, and standards/guidelines. The Risk
feature of RedSeal enables information security professional to quickly identify and quantify where the
greatest risk resides in their environments, thus allowing them to focus their remediation and mitigation
efforts on the most at risk parts of their IT infrastructure.
RedSeal also automates Continuous Monitoring / Auditing NIST 800-37 Guide for Applying the Risk
Management Framework to Federal Information Systems, which encourages the use of automation to

1.4.2 Brief Description of the Components of the TOE
The TOE consists of the following software components:
1.4.2.1 RedSeal Client
The RedSeal Client is a Java thick client that is downloaded from the RedSeal Server and used to manage a
single instance of the RedSeal Server. The RedSeal Client can be installed as a 32-bit or 64-bit process
depending on the underlying system.

1.4.2.2 RedSeal Server Manager
The RedSeal Server Manager is used to manage multiple RedSeal Servers. It monitors server health across
multiple server instances. The RedSeal Server Manager imports analysis performed on RedSeal Servers for
a more complete view of a larger network. Logs from each RedSeal Server can also be imported to the
RedSeal Server Manager to assist in troubleshooting. The RedSeal Server Manager sends requests to
RedSeal Servers, which return monitored network data to the RedSeal Server Manager.
The RedSeal Server Manager uses a MongoDB to provide database storage for summary information,
attached RedSeal Server health indicators, and TRL updates. The attached RedSeal Servers send summary
information in file format to the RedSeal Server Manager. This information is aggregated and used to build
the graphical views for administrators. Detailed sensitive data such as data collection credentials and
device configuration files are kept on RedSeal Servers and are not stored in this database.
1.4.2.3 Apache Tomcat
Both the RedSeal Server Manager and the RedSeal Server include Apache Tomcat. The Apache Tomcat
server provides the web-based reporting interface and exposes a REST API for RedSeal Server Manager
communications with the RedSeal Server and for third party integration.
1.4.2.4 JVM
Since all RedSeal software components are written in Java or Groovy, a JVM is required to run the
components. The JVM is included within the TOE boundary. Within the JVM is a Java Cryptographic
Extension that includes the RSA BSAFE Crypto-J v6.1 module that provides the FIPS 140-2 validated
cryptographic algorithms for HTTPS with the TOE.
1.4.2.5 Communications Plugins
RedSeal Server uses communication method specific plugins to import device configurations and
vulnerability scanner data from the attached network. These plugins determine the transport mechanism
used to collect the data and include proprietary protocols such as Cisco®
Security Manager and common
communication protocols such as HTTP(S). Only the common communication plugins listed in 1.4.1 were
tested as part of this evaluation. The available communication plugins for a selected device are shown
when creating a Data Collection Task. The communication plugins initiate communications with devices
on the network, as instructed by the RedSeal Server.
1.4.2.6 Data Plugins
There is a data plugin for each type of device that can be monitored. The available data plugins, by
manufacturer and type, are shown when creating a Data Collection Task. A data plugin can be selected
when creating a collection task or an Autodetect plugin can be used to automatically select the correct data
plugin for a collection task. Each data plugin contains commands and pointers to credentials for importing
that device type’s configurations or scan data. While the TOE supports many manufacturer specific
plugins, only the RedSeal generic plugins listed in 1.4.1 were tested as part of this evaluation.
1.4.2.7 RedSeal Server
The RedSeal Server controls data collection and analysis on the TOE. The RedSeal Client and RedSeal
Server Manager communicate directly with the RedSeal Server to manage collection tasks, perform
analysis, and create reports. For larger networks with organizational boundaries, multiple RedSeal Servers
may be used to access segmented areas of the network. Multiple RedSeal Servers may also be employed to
access the same or partially overlapping areas of the network, for example when one server is used for
normal operations, while a different server is used for scenario planning. The RedSeal Server provides a
limited CLI for server and database maintenance and appliance setup on the hardware appliance and virtual
appliance platforms only. The CLI is accessed via a direct, serial connection.

1.4.2.8 Admin Server
The Admin Server, within the RedSeal Server performs server and database administration. The CLI on
the hardware and virtual appliance, accesses this server process. The Admin Server is also responsible for
communications with external authentication servers, when configured.
1.4.2.9 PostgreSQL Database
The RedSeal Server uses a PostgreSQL database to store collected data, analyses, and reports. Direct
access to this database is not provided. Users can query the database only indirectly through the RedSeal
Server’s provided functions. Administrators can back up the database and perform purge tasks through the
RedSeal Server or Admin Server.
1.4.3 TOE Environment
The TOE can come pre-installed on a RedSeal hardware appliance, as a software virtual appliance that runs
on VMware ESX, or as a software package that runs on a Windows server. All RedSeal components are
Java-based, so the same software can run on each of these platforms.

1.5.2 Logical Scope
The logical boundary of the TOE will be broken down into the following security classes which are further
described in sections 6 and 7 of this ST. The logical scope also provides the description of the security
features of the TOE. The security functional requirements implemented by the TOE are usefully grouped
under the following Security Function Classes:
 Security Audit
 Cryptographic Support
 Identification and Authentication
 Security Management
 Protection of the TOE Security Functions
 TOE Access
 Trusted Path/Channel
 Network Assessment
1.5.2.1 Security Audit
Audit generation occurs within the TOE for management events, user maintenance events, and data
collection events. The TOE maintains multiple audit files that rotate logs, overwriting the oldest record
when a threshold is reached. Audit records are stored in the PostgreSQL database on the RedSeal Server
and are read-only for all users.
1.5.2.2 Cryptographic Support
The TOE includes a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module that generates and destroys keys according
to FIPS standards. Symmetric keys are generated using a Special Publication (SP) 800-90A Deterministic
Random Bit Generator (DRBG). Asymmetric keys are generated according to FIPS 186-3. RedSeal uses
the provided cryptographic algorithms for communications protocols, password wrapping, and TLS
certificate generation.
1.5.2.3 Identification and Authentication
User’s must be identified and authenticated prior to performing any action on the TOE. The TOE provides
a local database for authentication.
1.5.2.4 Security Management
The TOE assigns users to the role of View, Model, or Admin on the RedSeal Client. A separate
administrator account can access the CLI. The RedSeal Server Manager includes the roles Administrator,
Centralized Platform Management (CPM) User, and Centralized Security Monitoring (CSM) User. The
TOE only presents users with actions permitted by their roles. Audit log management, user authentication,
and user account management can all be done by Admins on the RedSeal Client and Administrators on the
RedSeal Server Manager. Database management can be done by administrators on the all interfaces.
1.5.2.5 Protection of the TSF
User and device passwords that are stored on the TOE are encrypted prior to storage. When passwords are
sent to an external authentication server, they are sent over a secure protocol, ensuring that they cannot be
disclosed or modified.
1.5.2.6 TOE Access
Users can configure the Client UI to timeout after a period of inactivity. Users on the Client interface are
also presented with a warning banner after logging into the TOE. The users must accept the banner to
access TOE functionality.

1.5.2.7 Trusted Path/Channel
The TOE uses its FIPS validated cryptographic module to provide a trusted channel between itself and
external authentication servers and network devices. The TOE provides a trusted path to CLI
administrators via a direct, serial connection.
1.5.2.8 Network Assessment
The RedSeal Platform collects configurations from network devices and stores details for each network
device. It also collects vulnerability scan reports from the network. These are stored in the database with
access allowed only through the RedSeal Server’s query and reporting tools. The queries and reports can
be requested from the Client UI or the RedSeal Server Manager. These queries are then sent to the RedSeal
Server, where database access occurs, and the result is returned to the requesting user. The TOE performs
analysis on this data to provide topology maps, reports, and compliance assessments. TOE users are alerted
if a database storage threshold has been reached so that database maintenance can be performed to prevent
data loss.
1.5.3 Product Physical/Logical Features and Functionality not
included in the TOE
Features/Functionality that are not part of the evaluated configuration of the TOE are:
 Network Time Protocol server
 Syslog server
 Admin GUI on Windows platform
 CLI access via SSH

3 Security Problem
This section describes the security aspects of the environment in which the TOE will be used and the
manner in which the TOE is expected to be employed. It provides the statement of the TOE security
environment, which identifies and explains all:
 Known and presumed threats countered by either the TOE or by the security environment
 Organizational security policies with which the TOE must comply
 Assumptions about the secure usage of the TOE, including physical, personnel and connectivity
aspects
3.1 Threats to Security
This section identifies the threats to the IT15
assets against which protection is required by the TOE or by
the security environment. The threat agents are divided into two categories:
 Attackers who are not TOE users: They have public knowledge of how the TOE operates and are
assumed to possess a low skill level, limited resources to alter TOE configuration settings or
parameters and no physical access to the TOE.
 TOE users: They have extensive knowledge of how the TOE operates and are assumed to possess
a high skill level, moderate resources to alter TOE configuration settings or parameters and
physical access to the TOE. (TOE users are, however, assumed not to be willfully hostile to the
TOE.)
Both are assumed to have a low level of motivation. The IT assets requiring protection are the TSF16
and
user data saved on or transitioning through the TOE. Removal, diminution, and mitigation of the threats
are through the objectives identified in Section 4 Security Objectives. Table 5 below lists the applicable
threats.
Table 5 Threats
Name Description
T.ADMIN ERROR A TOE user may unintentionally install or configure the TOE
incorrectly, resulting in ineffective security enforcement mechanisms.
T.FALREC The TOE may fail to recognize non-TOE user potential attack points
on the monitored network due to inaccurate data received from each
data source.
T.FORGE A non-TOE user may create a false policy causing the network analysis
to incorrectly model the network.
T.MASQUERADE A non-TOE user may masquerade as another entity in order to gain
unauthorized access to data or TOE resources.
T.NACCESS A non-TOE user may be able to view or modify data that is
transmitted between parts of the TOE or between the TOE and a
remote authorised external entity.
T.STORAGE The TOE database may run out of storage space due to improper
maintenance from a TOE users; causing audit or monitored network
traffic data loss.

Name Description
T.TAMPERING A non-TOE user may be able to bypass the TOE’s security
mechanisms by tampering with the TOE or TOE environment.
T.UNATTEND A TOE user on the Client UI may leave an authenticated session
unattended, resulting in the possibility of a malicious or unauthorized
user to mask their actions as the logged in user, resulting in a
misconfiguration or alteration of the TSF behavior.
T.UNAUTH A TOE user may gain access to security data on the TOE, even
though the user is not authorized in accordance with the TOE
security policy.
3.2 Organizational Security Policies
An Organizational Security Policy (OSP) is a set of security rules, procedures, or guidelines imposed by an
organization on the operational environment of the TOE. Table 6 below lists the OSPs that are presumed to
be imposed upon the TOE or its operational environment by any organization implementing the TOE in the
CC evaluated configuration.
Table 6 Organizational Security Policies
Name Description
P.BANNER The TOE client shall display an initial banner describing restrictions of
use, legal agreements, or any other appropriate information to which
users consent by accessing the system.
3.3 Assumptions

operational environment must be managed in accordance with assurance requirement documentation for
delivery, operation, and user guidance. Table 7 lists the specific conditions that are required to ensure the
security of the TOE and are assumed to exist in an environment where this TOE is employed.
Table 7 Assumptions
Name Description
A.TIMESTAMP The IT environment provides all TOE components with the necessary
reliable timestamps.
A.INSTALL The TOE is installed on the appropriate, dedicated hardware and
operating system. The TOE is placed in the network so that is can
access the required network objects.
A.LOCATE The TOE is located within a controlled access facility.
A.PROTECT The TOE software will be protected from unauthorized modification.

4 Security Objectives
Security objectives are concise, abstract statements of the intended solution to the problem defined by the
security problem definition (see Section 3). The set of security objectives for a TOE form a high-level
solution to the security problem. This high-level solution is divided into two part-wise solutions: the
security objectives for the TOE, and the security objectives for the TOE’s operational environment. This
section identifies the security objectives for the TOE and its supporting environment.
4.1 Security Objectives for the TOE
The specific security objectives for the TOE are listed in Table 8 below.
Table 8 Security Objectives for the TOE
Name Description
O.ADMIN The TOE must include a set of functions that allow efficient
management of its functions and data, ensuring that TOE users with
the appropriate privileges and only those TOE users, may exercise
such control.
O.ALERT The TOE will alert users if storage space in the database is reaching
capacity.
O.AUDIT The TOE must record events of security relevance at the “not
specified level” of audit. The TOE must record the resulting actions
of users, prevent unauthorized modification of the audit trail, and
prevent loss of audit trail data.
O.AUTHENTICATE The TOE must be able to identify and authenticate users prior to
allowing access to TOE administrative functions and data.
O.BANNER The TOE client will display an advisory warning regarding use of the
TOE.
O.INACTIVE The TOE client must implement a robust mechanism for terminating
user sessions after a period of inactivity.
O.MONITOR The TOE will monitor the behavior and configurations of the network
for anomalous activity.
O.PROTECT The TOE must ensure the integrity of audit and system data by
protecting itself from unauthorized modifications and access to its
functions and data.
O.SEC_COMMS The TOE must protect audit and system data as it shared over the
external network.
4.2 Security Objectives for the Operational
Environment
This section describes the environmental objectives.

4.2.2 Non-IT Security Objectives
Table 10 below lists the non-IT environment security objectives that are to be satisfied without imposing
technical requirements on the TOE. That is, they will not require the implementation of functions in the
TOE hardware and/or software. Thus, they will be satisfied largely through application of procedural or
administrative measures.
Table 10 Non-IT Security Objectives
Name Description
OE.MANAGE Sites deploying the TOE will provide competent, non-hostile TOE
administrators and users who are appropriately trained and follow all
administrator guidance. TOE administrators will ensure the system is
used securely.
OE.PHYSICAL The physical environment must be suitable for supporting a computing
device in a secure setting.

6 Security Requirements
This section defines the SFRs and SARs met by the TOE. These requirements are presented following the
conventions identified in Section 6.1.
6.1 Conventions
There are several font variations used within this ST. Selected presentation choices are discussed here to
aid the Security Target reader.
The CC allows for assignment, refinement, selection and iteration operations to be performed on security
functional requirements. All of these operations are used within this ST. These operations are performed
as described in Part 2 of the CC, and are shown as follows:
 Completed assignment statements are identified using [italicized text within brackets].
 Completed selection statements are identified using [underlined text within brackets].
 Refinements are identified using bold text. Any text removed is stricken (Example: TSF Data)
and should be considered as a refinement.
 Extended Functional and Assurance Requirements are identified using “EXT_” at the beginning of
the short name.
 Iterations are identified by appending a letter in parentheses following the component title. For
example, FAU_GEN.1(a) Audit Data Generation would be the first iteration and FAU_GEN.1(b)
Audit Data Generation would be the second iteration.
6.2 Security Functional Requirements
This section specifies the SFRs for the TOE. This section organizes the SFRs by CC class. Table 12
identifies all SFRs implemented by the TOE and indicates the ST operations performed on each

7 TOE Security Specification
This section presents information to detail how the TOE meets the functional requirements described in
previous sections of this ST.
7.1 TOE Security Functionality
Each of the security requirements and the associated descriptions correspond to a security function. Hence,
each security function is described by how it specifically satisfies each of its related requirements. This
serves to both describe the security functionality and rationalize that the security functionality satisfies the
necessary requirements. Table 18 lists the security functionality and their associated SFRs.

7.1.1 Security Audit
The TOE generates RedSeal Events that are used as a part of network analysis and log events that generates
audit records. The RedSeal Server audit records are stored in multiple files:
 UI log – contains messages generated by actions taken on the RedSeal Client. This log is only
viewable from the RedSeal Client
 Server log – contains messages related to server configuration, database management.
 Audit – contains system configuration changes made through either the client interface or the CLI
 Analyzer – contains messages on analysis events, including start time, finish time, success or
failure, and data collection details.
 System – contains system related events including server stops, starts, and restores
The RedSeal Server Manager maintains an audit log that is stored in the MongoDB and contains messages
related to administrative actions such as backups and restores of RedSeal Server databases and user activity
such as login and logout.
Logs are rotated, overwriting the oldest events when the log is full. RedSeal Server logs allow an Admin to
configure the number of log files and the size of log files that are kept before rotation. RedSeal Server
Manager logs have a hardcoded threshold. The TOE audit records contain the following information:
 Data and time of the event
 Host or process name
 Type (i.e. category and action) of the event
 Subject username if applicable
 Description (i.e. action performed, success or failure, etc.) of event
Audit records are stored in the filesystem on the RedSeal Server for all logs except the UI log and the
Server Manager log. The UI log is stored on the client’s host system. The TOE provides read-only access
to the audit files for all users. The TOE will overwrite audit data starting with the oldest data when the log
rotation limit is reached.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FAU-GEN.1, FAU_STG.1, FAU_STG.4.
7.1.2 Cryptographic Support
The TOE includes a FIPS 140-2 validated (certificate #2058) cryptographic module. All cryptographic
operations are performed using this module. The module uses a Hash-based DRBG and is capable of
generating 128, 256, and 512 bits keys for use in management sessions, internal communications between
components, and communications with monitored hosts. The module generates asymmetric keys according
to FIPS 186-3. The module destroys all keys in accordance with FIPS 140-2 zeroization methods. The
TOE is also capable of generating TLS certificates, performing signature generation and verification, and
hashing. The Diffie-Hellman algorithm can be used for key agreement in the TLS negotiations as
described in SP 800-56A. This algorithm was not tested as part of the FIPS validation, but is allowed in the
modules FIPS mode without testing.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FCS_CKM.1, FCS_CKM.4, FCS_COP.1.
7.1.3 Identification and Authentication
The TOE requires user to be identified and authenticated prior to accessing the TSF functionality. Users
are authenticated by the TOE using a local database. LDAP and RADIUS authentication are also
supported, but were not evaluated as a part of this evaluation. An authorized administrator can select a
user’s authentication method when adding new users. The LDAP server must be configured to run using
TLS.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FIA_UAU.2, FIA_UID.2.

7.1.4 Security Management
The TOE provides the following roles:
 View – A Client UI users that has access to view topologies and reports and download log files.
This role does not have any management functions.
 Model – A Client UI user that can run analysis, manage data collection, create custom best
practice checks, and perform the tasks of the View user.
 Admin – A Client UI users that can perform the tasks of the Model user and additionally perform
database, log, and user management.
 Server Admin – A CLI administrator that can perform actions only on the server itself. This
administrator can perform database management, starting and stopping the server, and performing
updates.
 Administrator – A Server Manager Administrator has access only to the Server Manager and can
create and manage users, associate the users with RedSeal Servers, monitor RedSeal Servers, and
view analysis data from these servers.
 CPM User – A CPM User has access only to the Server Manager and can view attached Servers,
upgrade software, view logs, restart servers, and perform backups.
 CSM User – A CSM User has access only to the Server Manager and can view health and analysis
data sent from those servers.
The TOE associates users with their role after authentication. The Client UI only presents users with
functions for which their role has permissions as described in Table 15.
Audit logs on the TOE can be configured through either the Admin tab on the Client UI or the CLI on the
server. The Admin role can modify user authentication for the Client UI. The Administrator role can
modify user authentication for the RedSeal Server Manager. The Admin, Server Admin, and CPM User
can backup and restore the database. The Admin, Server Admin, Administrator, and CPM User can
monitor the server health and restart or reboot the RedSeal Server. The Admin and Server Admin roles can
configure logs. Only the Admin role can modify system settings.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FMT_MOF.1, FMT_MTD.1, FMT_SMF.1,
FMT_SMR.1.
7.1.5 Protection of the TSF
Locally stored passwords on the RedSeal Server are wrapped using a 128-bit AES key to prevent plaintext
reading. Locally stored passwords on the RedSeal Server Manager are wrapped using a password based
key derivation function to prevent plaintext reading. Passwords for remote authentication are sent only
over secure channels, ensuring that they cannot be disclosed.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: EXT_FPT_APW.1.
7.1.6 TOE Access
The RedSeal Client UI offers a user defined inactivity timeout. When the period of inactivity is surpassed
the TOE will display a warning and then terminate the user’s session. The user will have to re-authenticate
in order to regain access.
Admins can configure a TOE access banner that is shown to all users on the Client UI. Users must accept
the banner after authenticating to gain access to the TOE.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FTA_SSL.3, FTA_TAB.1.
7.1.7 Trusted Path/Channels
The TOE provides trusted channels between itself and external authentication servers and those network
devices that support secure communications. The trusted channel to the network devices allows device
configurations to be imported into the TOE in a secure manner. The RedSeal server uses:

This document may be freely reproduced and distributed whole and intact including this copyright notice.
 TLS for communications with LDAP servers
 HTTPS for communications with network devices that support these protocols
These protocols all rely on the FIPS 140-2 validated library for their cryptographic algorithms.
The RedSeal Server Manager also provides a trusted path between administrators and the web interface
using HTTPS. These protocols also rely on the FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms. Lastly, administrators
connect to the CLI on the RedSeal Server using the trusted path of a direct, serial connection.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: FTP_ITC.1, FTP_TRP.1.
7.1.8 Network Assessment
The TOE collects data from layer 3 network devices and vulnerability scanners. The collected data
includes configuration files (for layer 3 network devices), routing tables, and vulnerability scan reports
(from vulnerability scanners) from attached network devices. A data collection task is created by a user
and calls the network devices using the communications plugin and credentials supplied in the collection
task. The TOE collects host names, IP addresses, interface names, device types, routing tables, and
configuration files from the devices to analyze the network. Each collection task generates an audit
message in the UI log that details the date and time of collection, device name, and the success or failure of
the connection.
The analysis performed on this data includes a list of best practices and policy compliance, vulnerabilities
identified, and configuration changes made since the last collection. The RedSeal Threat Reference
Library is also used to determine vulnerabilities and threats to a network.
Both the collected data and the reports and analysis generated from that data are stored in the Postgres SQL
database on the RedSeal Server. The TOE does not allow direct access to the Postgres SQL database. Data
can only be pulled from the database using the reports and queries available on the Client UI and the
RedSeal Server Manager. Users in the View group can view reports, but have read-only access to the
Public folder in the Reporting tab. Users in the Model group can manage data collection tasks, perform
analysis, and have read and write access to reports generated by them. Admin users have access to all
reports and analysis data. On the RedSeal Server Manager, the CSM User and Administrator can view roll-
ups of each RedSeal Server’s overall risk score, top best practice violations, top access policy violations,
and the top vulnerable hosts from each RedSeal Server.
The homepage of the Client UI includes an Overall Health section. This monitors the database status and
alerts users if the storage threshold is reached. The database must be periodically purged to remove stale
data and ensure the database storage threshold is not exceeded.
TOE Security Functional Requirements Satisfied: EXT_NAS_MDC.1, EXT_NAS_ANL.1,
EXT_NAS_RDR.1, EXT_NAS_STG.1

threats, policies, and assumptions to the security objectives are complete. The following discussion
provides detailed evidence of coverage for each threat, policy, and assumption.
8.2.1 Security Objectives Rationale Relating to Threats
Table 19 below provides a mapping of the objects to the threats they counter.
Table 19 Threats: Objectives Mapping
Threats Objectives Rationale
T.ADMIN ERROR
A TOE user may unintentionally
install or configure the TOE
incorrectly, resulting in ineffective
security enforcement mechanisms.
O.ADMIN
The TOE must include a set of
functions that allow efficient
management of its functions and
data, ensuring that TOE users
with the appropriate privileges
and only those TOE users, may
exercise such control.
O.ADMIN mitigates this threat by
ensuring the TOE provides
management functions and
restricts these function to TOE
users with appropriate privileges.
OE.MANAGE
Sites deploying the TOE will
provide competent, non-hostile
TOE administrators and users
who are appropriately trained and
follow all administrator guidance.
TOE administrators will ensure
the system is used securely.
OE.MANAGE mitigates this threat
by ensuring that all administrators
are properly trained and follow
TOE guidance.
T.FALREC
The TOE may fail to recognize
non-TOE user potential attack
points on the monitored network
due to inaccurate data received
from each data source.
O.MONITOR
The TOE will monitor the
behavior and configurations of the
network for anomalous activity.
The O.MONITOR objectives
mitigates this threat by ensuring
that the TOE receives correct
information from data sources
and properly analyzes the
information to detect anomalous
activity.
OE.SD_PROTECTION
The TOE environment will
provide the capability to protect
monitored system data as it is

Threats Objectives Rationale
T.FORGE
A non-TOE user may create a false
policy causing the network analysis
to incorrectly model the network.
O.AUTHENTICATE
The TOE must be able to identify
and authenticate users prior to
allowing access to TOE
administrative functions and data.
O.AUTHENTICATE mitigates this
threat by requiring the TOE to
identify and authenticate all users
prior to performing an action on
the TOE.
O.INACTIVE
The TOE client must implement a
robust mechanism for terminating
user sessions after a period of
inactivity.
O.INACTIVE mitigates this threat
by requiring user session to
timeout after a period of
inactivity. This ensures that
unauthorized users cannot hijack
an authenticated user's account
and create a false policy.
O.PROTECT
The TOE must ensure the
integrity of audit and system data
by protecting itself from
unauthorized modifications and
access to its functions and data.
O.PROTECT mitigates this threat
through the TOE protecting its
system data, which includes policy
creation.
OE.MANAGE
Sites deploying the TOE will
provide competent, non-hostile
TOE administrators and users
who are appropriately trained and
follow all administrator guidance.
TOE administrators will ensure
the system is used securely.
OE.MANAGE mitigates this threat
by requiring all authorized users
to be properly trained and follow
all guidance.
T.MASQUERADE
A non-TOE user may masquerade
as another entity in order to gain
unauthorized access to data or
TOE resources.
O.AUTHENTICATE
The TOE must be able to identify
and authenticate users prior to
allowing access to TOE
administrative functions and data.
By ensuring that The TOE is able
to identify and authenticate users
prior to allowing access to TOE
administrative functions and data,
O.AUTHENTICATE counters this
threat.
T.NACCESS
A non-TOE user may be able to
view or modify data that is
transmitted between parts of the
TOE or between the TOE and a
remote authorised external entity.
O.SEC_COMMS
The TOE must protect audit and
system data as it shared over the
external network.
The objective O.SEC_COMMS
ensures that TSF data transmitted
between the external network
and the TOE is kept secure from
modification and disclosure.
T.STORAGE
The TOE database may run out of
storage space due to improper
maintenance from a TOE users;
causing audit or monitored
network traffic data loss.
O.ALERT
The TOE will alert users if storage
space in the database is reaching
capacity.
The O.ALERT objective mitigates
this threat by requiring the TOE
to alert users when storage
capacity reaches a defined
threshold.
OE.MANAGE
Sites deploying the TOE will
provide competent, non-hostile
TOE administrators and users
who are appropriately trained and
follow all administrator guidance.
OE.MANAGE ensures that
administrators follow all guidance,
including proper database back-up
procedures.

Threats Objectives Rationale
TOE administrators will ensure
the system is used securely.
T.TAMPERING
A non-TOE user may be able to
bypass the TOE’s security
mechanisms by tampering with the
TOE or TOE environment.
O.ADMIN
The TOE must include a set of
functions that allow efficient
management of its functions and
data, ensuring that TOE users
with the appropriate privileges
and only those TOE users, may
exercise such control.
O.ADMIN supports the mitigation
of this threat by ensuring that only
authorized users may configure
the TOE security mechanisms.
O.AUDIT
The TOE must record events of
security relevance at the “not
specified level” of audit. The TOE
must record the resulting actions
of users, prevent unauthorized
modification of the audit trail, and
prevent loss of audit trail data.
The objective O.AUDIT ensures
that security relevant events that
may indicate attempts to tamper
with the TOE are recorded.
O.PROTECT
The TOE must ensure the
integrity of audit and system data
by protecting itself from

8.3 Rationale for Extended Security Functional
Requirements
A class of EXT_NAS requirements was created to specifically address monitoring and analyzing the
attached network. The CC FAU: Security Audit class was used as a model for creating these requirements.
The purpose of this class of requirements is to address the unique nature of monitored network data and
provide for requirements about collecting, reviewing, and managing this data. These requirement’s
dependencies have been noted in 5.1.3. These requirements exhibit functionality that can be easily
documented in the ADV assurance evidence and thus do not require any additional Assurance
Documentation.
A family of EXT_FPT_APW: Protection of Passwords was created to address the protection of passwords
stored on the TOE. This requirement was based on the FPT_APW_EXT requirement in the Network
Device Protection Profile. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that passwords, which are TSF
data, are not stored in plaintext on the TOE. Storage of these passwords in plaintext could jeopardize their
integrity. This requirement is dependent on the FCS_COP.1 requirement to provide the cryptographic
operation that makes the password non-plaintext. This requirement exhibits functionality that can be easily
documented in the ADV assurance evidence and thus does not require any additional Assurance
Documentation.
8.4 Security Requirements Rationale
The following discussion provides detailed evidence of coverage for each security objective.

8.4.2 Security Assurance Requirements Rationale
EAL2 was chosen to provide a low to moderate level of assurance that is consistent with good commercial
practices. As such, minimal additional tasks are placed upon the vendor assuming the vendor follows
reasonable software engineering practices and can provide support to the evaluation for design and testing
efforts. The chosen assurance level is appropriate with the threats defined for the environment. While the
System may monitor a hostile environment, it is expected to be in a non-hostile position and embedded in
or protected by other products designed to address threats that correspond with the intended environment.
At EAL2, the System will have incurred a search for obvious flaws to support its introduction into the non-
hostile environment. The augmentation of ALC_FLR.2 was chosen to give greater assurance of the
developer’s on-going flaw remediation processes.
8.4.3 Dependency Rationale
The SFRs in this ST satisfy all of the required dependencies listed in the Common Criteria, applicable PPs,
and SFRs explicitly stated in this ST. Table 23 lists each requirement to which the TOE claims
conformance and indicates whether the dependent requirements are included. As the table indicates, all
dependencies have been met.
