monitoring, alerting, and reporting capabilities to applications and servers. Automatically
discovers servers and applications and provides visibility into application performance and the
underlying operating systems and servers they run on.
Network Configuration Manager - Network Configuration Manager (NCM) notifies network
managers in real-time when device configurations change, helping network managers determine
which changes could potentially cause network issues. NCM also provides nightly configuration
backups, bulk configuration changes, user tracking, and inventory and compliance reporting.
NetFlow Traffic Analyzer - NetFlow Traffic Analyzer (NTA) enables network managers to
quantify exactly how a network is being used, by whom, and for what purpose. The application
mapping feature correlates the traffic arriving from designated ports, source IPs, destination IPs,
and protocols to application names network managers can recognize. NTA provides a
comprehensive view of the network traffic, enabling network managers to find the bottlenecks or
identify the bandwidth hogs.
IP Address Manager - IP Address Manager (IPAM) is an IP address management component
that enables network managers to create, schedule, and share IP address space reports. IPAM
provides IP address management that is unified with performance monitoring data for a
comprehensive view of network health.
VoIP & Network Quality Manager - VoIP & Network Quality Manager (VNQM) delivers a
network and VoIP monitoring solution for identifying site-specific and WAN-related
performance issues from the perspective of each of the remote sites. With this component,
network managers can utilize Cisco IP SLA technology with automatic VNQM setup to monitor
key WAN performance metrics, including Cisco VoIP jitter and MOS.
User Device Tracker - User Device Tracker (UDT) delivers automated user and device tracking
to monitor who and what are connecting to the network. Searches of the accumulated
information can be performed on a user name, IP address, Hostname, or MAC address.
Log Analyzer - Log Analyzer (LA) continuously collects, consolidates, and manages all
network, infrastructure, and application logs. Log sources such as syslog, SNMP traps, and
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 11
Windows Event logs are stored, aggregated, tagged, and indexed for search allowing an
administrator a unified view and full visibility into the performance of their IT environment.
Web Performance Monitor - Web Performance Monitor (WPM) continuously monitors the
performance of web servers and applications. Performance issues can be identified as DNS
look-up, connection time, send time, time to first byte, or content download time.
Server Configuration Monitor - Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) notifies systems
administrators in real-time when server and application configurations change, helping systems
administrators determine which changes could potentially cause systems issues. SCM provides
hardware and installed software inventory tracking, custom file and Windows registry
monitoring, baseline tagging, and line-by-line comparison of configuration over time.
Storage Resource Monitor - Storage Resource Monitor (SRM) continuously monitors the status
and performance of multi-vendor storage environments. Performance issues can be identified for
NAS and SAN storage components as well as more granular entities such as volumes and storage
pools.
Virtualization Manager - Virtualization Manager (VMAN) delivers integrated VMware
vSphere® and Microsoft® Hyper-V® recommendations, capacity planning, performance
monitoring, VM sprawl control, VDI performance monitoring, configuration management, and
alert remediation. VMAN provides a dashboard view of the health and status of applications, as
well as all dependent virtual server, host, cluster, and datastore information that supports the
application and its virtual server.
Enterprise Operations Console - Enterprise Operations Console (EOC) provides a consolidated
command center to remotely monitor critical network infrastructure in multiple different physical
locations. EOC provides a consolidated command center to monitor the entire enterprise network
and gives network managers unified visibility into remote SolarWinds servers.
HCO provides the following capabilities to network managers:
 Schedule network scans to identify new network devices or applications.
 Perform detailed monitoring & analysis of performance data from routers, switches,
servers, and applications to identify peak performance issues.
 Monitor the health of critical applications.
 Remotely monitor WMI performance counters to identify and resolve application issues.
 Monitor the availability and responsiveness of critical DNS, IMAP4, and POP3 network
services.
 Get a comprehensive view of network traffic on a single page, or drill down into any
element’s traffic.
 Break down the display of network traffic information by application.
 Identify network issues across the enterprise.
 Perform detailed collection, aggregation, and analysis of log data, faults, and events from
network devices, servers, and applications.

port details, and IP addresses.
 Generate a detailed server and operating system inventory of all managed devices,
including serial numbers, hardware configuration, and installed software.
 Perform remote IOS/firmware updates in real time or schedule them to run at a future
time.
 Generate configuration change reports for monitored resources.
 Establish unique accounts and specify which types of information are displayed for a
particular user.
Users may interact with the TOE via multiple interfaces. The EOC Web Console provides
access to the EOC, and through it provides visibility to the overall TOE, which is especially
useful when multiple SolarWinds Servers are deployed. The SolarWinds Web Console provides
access to individual SolarWinds Servers. All of these interfaces support connections from
remote IT systems via web browsers.
User access to information via each of these interfaces is controlled by the roles configured for
individual users by administrators. When a connection is established, the user is prompted for a
username and password. User credential validation is performed by the TOE for the SolarWinds
Web Console interface, and by Windows for the EOC Web Console interface. In all cases,
permitted user accounts must be defined within the TOE so that user-specific TOE parameters
(e.g. role) can be associated with each user.
1.5.2 TOE type

1.6 TOE Description
HCO acts as a monitoring and management tool for use by network managers. It maintains a list
of the managed elements in the network, monitors their operation, and alerts the network
managers to specified conditions. Managed elements are network devices (e.g. routers and
switches), servers, storage devices, or applications that can be monitored by standard
mechanisms such as SNMP, ICMP, Syslog, or WMI. NCM functionality may be used to track
configuration changes on the network devices for products that are able to download a copy of
their current configuration parameters. SCM functionality may be used to track configuration
changes on servers and applications via the SolarWinds Agent.
Users interact with the TOE via multiple mechanisms. The EOC Web Console and SolarWinds
Web Console are provided for remote interaction with the EOC and HCO functionality.

1.6.2 Logical Boundary
The TOE provides the following security functionality:
1. Audit - Audit records are generated for specific actions performed by users. The audit
records are stored in the SolarWinds database and may be viewed via the SolarWinds
Web Console by authorized administrators.
2. Identification and Authentication – When a connection is established to the EOC Web
Console or SolarWinds Web Console, the TOE prompts the user for login credentials.
The credentials are validated by the TOE for the SolarWinds Web Console. For the EOC
Web Console, the credentials are first passed to Windows for validation.
3. Management – There are different TOE security function data for different TOE
components, such as specific for NCM, IPAM and SCM etc. The management
functionality provides multiple management access mechanisms for users. For each
specific TOE security function data, dedicated access table will be established, the
security function data privileges for the users vary based upon the definition. Individual
user’s access right for each TOE component security function data is determined by the
user’s role of each TOE component.
4. Network Monitoring – The status and performance of managed elements are monitored.
The results are saved and may be viewed by authorized users. Access to data about the
managed elements may be limited by view limitations. Alerts may be generated to notify
network managers of configured conditions detected about the managed elements.
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 18
Conditions detected by HCO include element status changes and performance threshold
values being exceeded.
5. Network Configuration Management – The configurations of network devices may be
downloaded from the network device, saved in the TOE database, and compared to a
reference configuration. If a configuration change is detected, an upload of a saved
configuration for the network device may be triggered.
6. Server Configuration Management – The configurations of servers, windows registry,
and applications may be collected via SolarWinds Agent, saved in the TOE database, and
compared to a reference configuration.
1.7 Functionality Excluded from the Evaluation
The following functionality provided by SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability for Federal
Government V2022.4.1 is not evaluated:
 Create a custom poller to monitor any SNMP-enabled device, collect detailed data from
MIB tables, and monitor virtually any statistic available on network devices.
 Install additional polling engines for large networks with a small number of NPM or
SAM instances.
 Install additional web servers to support a large number of network managers.
 External web sites are not added to SolarWinds Web Console views.
 The “Check for product updates” function is not used.
 Custom device pollers are not configured. HCO allows user to extend monitoring
functionality by creating several types of pollers (an example how to create a new poller -
https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Create-a-Universal-Device-Poller-
UnDP). By default in clean HCO installations there are no custom pollers configured.
HCO comes with a set of built-in (shipped by SolarWinds) pollers used to monitor
different metrics, e.g. temperature of devices, load of CPU, memory available etc. Pollers
supplied by SolarWinds with the TOE are under evaluation.
 Custom component monitors are not configured. HCO allows user to create new
component monitors to monitor their own custom application (an example how to create
one component monitor -
https://support.solarwinds.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/Creating-a-new-application-
template-Video). By default in clean HCO installations there are no custom component
monitors configured. Component monitors supplied by SolarWinds with the TOE are
under evaluation. Account limitations are tied to custom component monitors and are
also not configured.
 Custom property functionality is not configured. Built-in properties are under evaluation.
 The functionality to remotely manage interfaces in Network Devices.
 Custom NCM device templates are not configured. HCO allows user to create new NCM
device templates to monitor any specific devices or metrics (more information on NCM
device template -
https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/Success_Center/NCM/Content/NCM-About-
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 19
device-templates.htm). By default, in clean HCO installations there are no custom NCM
device templates. The default device templates supplied by SolarWinds with the TOE are
under evaluation.
 Customized SCM custom profiles are not configured. Similar to NCM device templates,
the SolarWinds platform allows users to create their own SCM custom profile to monitor
any specific system or metrics (more information on SCM custom profile -
https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/scm/Content/SCM-Custom-
profiles.htm). The default profile supplied by SolarWinds with the TOE is under
evaluation.
 Customized views are not configured on SolarWinds Web Consoles. HCO allows the
user to create their own customized views, such as configurable pages or network
information that can include e.g., maps, charts, events, summary lists, links to other
resources or reports (more information on customized views). By default, in clean HCO
installations there are no customized views configured. The default views supplied by
SolarWinds with the TOE are used and under evaluation.
 View Limitations are not configured. HCO has a capability to limit which devices are
displayed on a view (page). By default, on clean installation there are no view limitations
configured.
 Customized account limitations are not configured on SolarWinds Web Consoles. HCO
has the capability to configure account limitations, similar to view limitations (apply to a
specific view only), and it will restrict displayed devices for a user on all views (pages).
By default, on clean installations there are no custom account limitations setup.
Predefined account limitations provided by SolarWinds may be configured for
evaluation.
 Customized page views are not configured on EOC Web Consoles. EOC allows users to
create their own customized views. By default, in clean EOC installation there are no
customized views configured. The default views supplied by SolarWinds with the TOE
are used (the Allow User To Personalize Their Pages permission is not set) and under
evaluation.
 Agents providing an alternative to WMI or SNMP for gathering information from
monitored systems are not configured. Customers can deploy Agents (a small binary file /
service provided by SolarWinds) in remote hosts to pull data. For example, if customers
had firewalls setup that don’t allow ingress traffic, it will be useful to install an Agent in a
protected subnet and connect in an Agent-initiated way to HCO. Otherwise, HCO would
not be able to reach those devices. Agents installed on remote node and the connections
with those Agents are excluded from evaluation. Agents installed by default on the host
that runs the TOE are under evaluation.(more detail on it).
 Alert Limitations are not configured. Similar to other limitations (view limitation and
account limitation), this functionality will limit access (view or edit) to alerts for specific
users. By default, such limitations are not configured.
 Alert Custom Properties are not configured. HCO has a concept of Custom Properties
that are additional fields which can describe better monitored objects, such as responsible
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 20
team, business unit, owner in organization etc. Those fields can be created by customer
via SolarWinds Web Console. Such properties can also be used for Alerts to help
organize them. Such custom properties for alerts should not be configured for evaluation
and that’s the default for clean HCO installations.
 Advanced Alert Options are not configured. HCO provides a wizard for guiding users
through the process of alert creation. One of the steps is defining conditions that will
trigger an alert. Advanced Alert Options make it possible to create complex conditions.
This functionality should not be enabled for user specified alert for evaluation.
 Alert actions are limited to sending syslog and/or SNMP Trap messages. Other actions
(e.g., sending e-mail, Dialing a Paging, or SMS Service) are excluded from the
evaluation.
 NCM includes the ability to execute scripts on network devices. This functionality is
excluded from the evaluation.
 NCM supports multiple protocols to request and transfer configuration files from network
devices. Only SNMP to request files and TFTP to transfer files are under evaluation.
 HCO supports the use of SFTP and SCP to upload files containing security information
from monitored devices. This functionality is excluded from the evaluation.
 Validation of web interface user credentials is performed by HCO. Validation by an
LDAP server is not configured. HCO has a functionality that allows to use Windows
Authentication with Active Directory for authentication. Not configured by default.
 SolarWinds High Availability (HA) features automatic failover to a secondary server to
ensure continuous monitoring when a component failure occurs. This functionality is
excluded from the evaluation.
 The REST interface is not used. Management of the TOE is performed via the GUI.
 UDT provides the ability to send commands to network devices to shut down a port. This
functionality is excluded from the evaluation.
 SolarWinds Engineer’s Toolset component is not installed or used. This Engineer’s
Toolset helps users monitor and troubleshoot the network with the most trusted tools in
network management, such as Response Time Monitor, Interface Monitor, CPU Monitor,
Memory Monitor, and TraceRoute (https://www.solarwinds.com/engineers-toolset).
 The SAML is not configured for SSO and it’s not included in the evaluation.

installed. User need certain permission to access them. One example of such applications is WPM Recorder.
6.1.3 Security Management (FMT)
6.1.3.1 FMT_MTD.1 Management of TSF Data
Application Note: The TOE provides multiple management access mechanisms for users. The TSF data privileges for the users
vary based upon the mechanism. Therefore, iterations for this SFR are specified for each access mechanism.
The collection of iterations addresses the TSF data privileges for all TOE access mechanisms. If a TSF data
item is not included in the table accompanying the SFR iteration, then no access to that TSF data item is
provided via the TOE access mechanism.
6.1.3.1.1 FMT_MTD.1(1) Management of TSF Data (SolarWinds Server TSF Data (Other
Than NCM-Specific, SAM-Specific, SCM-Specific and IPAM-Specific))

7. TOE Summary Specification
7.1 Security Functions
7.1.1 Audit
Relevant SFRs: FAU_GEN.1, FAU_SAR.1, FAU_SAR.2
The TOE generates audits for the events specified in the table included with FAU_GEN.1.
Startup and shutdown of the audit function is controlled by changes to the Enable Audit Trail
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 57
setting; the evaluated configuration requires this value to be set at all times. The following fields
are included in all audit log records, although not all fields are populated in all records:
 Date/time
 Message (details of the event)
 User performing the action
Audit records are stored in plaintext in the SolarWinds database for the time period configured
via the Audit Trails Retention parameter, and are automatically deleted when the retention period
expires.
Audit records may be viewed via the SolarWinds Web Console using the Message Center View
by SolarWinds Administrators. Users are not permitted to read audit records.
7.1.2 Identification and Authentication
Relevant SFRs: FIA_ATD.1(all iterations), FIA_UAU.2, FIA_UAU.7, FIA_UID.2,
FIA_USB.1(all iterations), FTA_SSL.3, FIA_AFL.1
The TOE provides the following access mechanism for users to interact with the TOE:
1. SolarWinds Web Console
2. EOC Web Console
3. SolarWinds Windows applications invoked on servers hosting TOE components
The first two mechanisms are accessed via web browsers from remote IT systems, while the third
is accessed by users from the local keyboard/display on the servers hosting the TOE components.
When a connection is established to the SolarWinds Web Console, the TOE collects a username
and password from the user. A dot (“•”) is echoed for each character supplied for the password
(FIA_UAU.7). Once the credentials are supplied, they are validated by the TOE (FIA_UID.2,
FIA_UAU.2). If the credentials are not valid, the user account is not enabled, or the user account
has expired, an error message is displayed and the user may try again. When max attempts
reached due to authentication failure, user account will be locked for certain time of period
(default is 15 minutes, it’s configurable). This function is achieved by providing counts on
authentication failure (FIA_AFL.1). If the credentials are valid, the security attributes configured
for the supplied username (FIA_ATD.1(1)) are bound to the session (FIA_USB.1(1)) and the
user is given access to the management functions. The attributes bound to the session are
specified in FIA_USB.1(1). Sessions are automatically terminated after the configured inactivity
time (FTA_SSL.3).
When a connection is established to the EOC Web Console, the TOE collects a username and
password from the user. A dot (“•”) is echoed for each character supplied for the password
(FIA_UAU.7). Once the credentials are supplied, they are passed to the host operating system
(Windows) for validation. If the credentials are not valid, an error message is displayed and the
user may try again. If the credentials are valid, the supplied username is checked against the user
accounts defined for the EOC Web Console (FIA_UID.2). If the account is not defined, an error
message is displayed and the user may try again. If the user account is defined, the security
attributes configured for the supplied username (FIA_ATD.1(2)) are bound to the session
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 58
(FIA_USB.1(2)) and the user is given access to the management functions. The attributes bound
to the session are specified in FIA_USB.1(2).
When the SolarWinds Server is invoked via a Windows application, the TOE does not perform
any I&A function. The user is required to have been identified by Windows (per
OE.WINDOWSACCESS). The role bound to all users of this access mechanism is set to the
Windows Application Administrator role (FIA_USB.1(3)).
When a user of the EOC Web Console accesses data from an SolarWinds Server, credentials for
the user are automatically sent to the server on behalf of the user. If the user account is
configured to use the configured credentials, the credentials used are those configured for the
user account. Otherwise, the user is prompted for the credentials to send. A dot (“•”) is echoed
for each character supplied for the password (FIA_UAU.7).
When a user of the EOC Web Console or SolarWinds Web Console accesses configuration data
(related to NCM) for a Node, the NCM role configured for the SolarWinds Server user account
is bound to the session.
7.1.3 Management
Relevant SFRs: FMT_MTD.1(all iterations), FMT_SMF.1, FMT_SMR.1
Management functionality is available to authorized users through the SolarWinds Web Console,
the EOC Web Console, and Windows applications invoked on the SolarWinds Servers. The
management functionality available to users is specified in FMT_SMF.1. The functionality
made available to individual users is dependent on their security attributes (including role),
which vary based upon the TOE access mechanism being used. The roles are specified in
FMT_SMR.1, and the access privileges available and associated security attributes are specified
in FMT_MTD.1.
7.1.4 Network Monitoring
Relevant SFRs: FNM_ANL.1, FNM_MDC.1, FNM_RCT.1, FNM_RDR.1(all iterations),
FNM_STG.1
Network monitoring is performed against Managed Elements by SolarWinds Servers. The types
of monitoring are dependent on the TOE components installed on the SolarWinds Servers, and
may include nodes, interfaces, servers, applications, IP address space, network flows, and SLAs.
Performance monitoring is performed by sending ICMP and/or SNMP messages to the Managed
Elements to determine configuration information and retrieve status and statistics information.
Status information may also be determined from Syslog and/or SNMP Trap messages received
from the Managed Elements, or via WMI exchanges to determine information about servers and
applications. All the information can store in the TOE for analysis purpose (FNM_MDC.1).
Information collected from the managed elements is analyzed (FNM_ANL.1). The TOE
analyzes for a variety of status and performance indicators for managed elements; the specific
items are dependent on the type of elements being monitored. The results of the analysis are
available to authorized SolarWinds Web Console users or authorized EOC Web Console users of
the TOE via Views (FNM_RDR.1). Events are generated to record status changes or configured
threshold values being met concerning the managed elements (FNM_ANL.1), and Alerts may be
generated based upon these conditions being detected about the managed elements
(FNM_RCT.1). SolarWinds Administrators may configure alerts to be generated based on status
SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability Security Target
Copyright © 2024 SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. 59
changes of managed elements (e.g. node down) or performance threshold values being exceeded
(e.g. CPU utilization of a server exceeds a threshold value). Alerts may cause notifications such
as Syslog messages or SNMP Trap messages sent to configured destinations.
The results of the analysis are available to users of the TOE via Views (FNM_RDR.1). Views
may be accessed via the SolarWinds Web Console, which provides information concerning
Managed Elements configured in a specific SolarWinds Server instance; or the EOC Web
Console, which provides aggregated information from one or more SolarWinds Server instances,
depending on the configuration for individual EOC Web Console users.
Access privileges for status and analysis information maintained by the SolarWinds Server is
determined by the user account privileges configured for each authorized SolarWinds n Server
user account.
The information collected from the managed elements, as well as the analysis results, is saved in
the TOE database and may be reviewed by authorized users (FNM_STG.1). The TOE does not
provide any direct database access to SolarWinds Web Console or EOC Web Console users, and
the mediated access does not provide any mechanism to modify the Monitor data. The only
mechanism provided to delete Monitor data is via the configuration of data retention policies by
authorized SolarWinds Administrators.
7.1.5 Configuration Management
Relevant SFRs: FMT_MTD.1(2), FNM_ANL.1, FNM_RCT.1
The TOE downloads configuration files from network nodes either on command by an
authorized NCM user or according to scheduled NCM jobs (FMT_MTD.1(2)). Configuration
files may also be uploaded to network nodes on command by an authorized NCM user or
according to scheduled NCM jobs (FMT_MTD.1(2)).
When configuration files are downloaded, they may be compared to previously downloaded files
to detect changes (FNM_ANL.1). Syslog messages received from the network nodes may also
be analyzed to detect configuration changes (FNM_ANL.1). Detection of a configuration
change can trigger the upload of a configuration file to a network node (FNM_RCT.1).

The following table describes the rationale for the threats, assumptions, and organisational
security policies to security objectives mapping.
Table 21 - Threats, Assumptions and Organisational Security Policies to Security
Objectives Rationale
TYPE Security Objectives Rationale
A.ACCESS The OE.INTROP objective ensures the TOE has the needed access.
A.ASCOPE The OE.INSTALL objective ensures the TOE is installed per the vendor guidance,
which addresses scalability.
A.DBACCESS The OE.DBACCESS objective ensures that access to any mechanisms outside the
TOE boundary that may be used to access the database is configured by the
administrators according to guidance document, such that only authorized users
may utilize the mechanisms.
A.ENVIRON OE.ENVIRON addresses this assumption by restating it as an objective for the
Administrator to satisfy.
A.INSTALL OE.INSTALL addresses this assumption by restating it as an objective for the
Administrator to satisfy.
A.NETWORK OE.NETWORK addresses this assumption by restating it as an objective for the
Administrator to satisfy.
A.NOEVILADM
IN
OE.NOEVILADMIN addresses this assumption by restating it as an objective for
the Administrator to satisfy.
P.ACCACT The O.AUDITS objective implements this policy by requiring auditing of all data
accesses and use of TOE functions. The OE.TIME objective supports this policy
by providing a time stamp for insertion into the audit records. The
O.TOE_ACCESS objective supports this objective by ensuring each user is
identified and authenticated.
P.ACCESS O.MANAGE defines the access privileges to the data for the supported roles.
O.TOE_ACCESS requires the TOE to control access based upon the user’s role.
OE.WINDOWSACCESS requires Windows to restrict access to SolarWinds
Server functionality via Windows applications to users authorized to invoke TOE
functionality.
P.ANALYZ O.CONFIG requires the TOE to be able to compare configuration files for
managed elements to detect unexpected changes.
O.MONITOR requires the TOE to analyze information collected from the
managed elements to detect conditions specified by administrators.
P.DBMONITOR OE.DBMONITOR addresses this policy by restating it as an objective for the
Administrator to satisfy.
P.DISCLOSURE OE.COMM addresses the policy by requiring the environment to supply
functionality to protect the communication between remote systems and TOE
components.
OE.CRYPTO addresses the policy by requiring the environment to provide
cryptographic functionality in support of data protection protocols such as SSL.
OE.SSL addresses the policy by requiring the environment to provide SSL as a data
protection protocol.
P.INTGTY O.MANAGE requires the TOE to define the required functionality, which also
implicitly defines the lack of functionality for modification of collected data.
P.MANAGE O.TOE_ACCESS requires the TOE to control access based upon the user’s role,
which requires the TOE to bind a role to each user’s session.
OE.WINDOWSACCESS requires Windows to restrict access to SolarWinds
Server functionality via Windows applications to users authorized to invoke TOE
functionality.

TYPE Security Objectives Rationale
P.PASSWORDS O.PASSWORDS addresses this policy by requiring the TOE to provide
functionality for Administrators, but not non-Administrators, to configure
passwords.
T.INTERCEPT OE.CRYPTO mitigates the threat by requiring the environment to provide
cryptographic functionality in support of secure communication channels.
T.MASQUERAD
E
O.TOE_ACCESS mitigates this threat by controlling the logical access to the TOE
and its resources. By constraining how and when authorized users can access the
TOE this objective helps mitigate the possibility of a user attempting to login and
masquerade as an authorized user.
OE.COMM mitigates this threat by protecting data when it is transferred between
remote systems and the TOE.
OE.WINDOWSACCESS requires Windows to identify and authenticate users
before they access SolarWinds Server functionality via Windows applications.
T.TSF_COMPR
OMISE
O.MANAGE is necessary because an access control policy is not specified to
control access to TSF data. This objective is used to dictate who is able to view and
modify TSF data.
T.UNIDENT_AC
TIONS
The O.AUDITS objective helps to mitigate this threat by recording actions for later
review.
The O.AUDIT_REVIEW objective helps to mitigate this threat by providing the
Administrator with the ability to review the actions taken by administrators.
The OE.TIME helps to mitigate this threat by ensuring that correct timestamps are
available for audit records.

Security
Objective
SFR and Rationale
O.MANAGE FIA_ATD.1(all iterations) define the security attributes that must be able to be
managed for users of the TOE.
FMT_MTD.1(all iterations) defines the data access privileges associated with
each role.
FMT_SMF.1(all iterations) defines the specific security management functions to
be supported.
FMT_SMR.1 defines the specific security roles to be supported.
FNM_RDR.1(all iterations) requires the TOE to provide information collected
from managed elements to be displayed in human readable form.
O.MONITOR FNM_MDC.1 requires the TOE be able to collect and save information about the
managed elements
FNM_ANL.1 requires the TOE to be able to analyze the information collected
about the managed elements.
FNM_RCT.1 requires the TOE be able to generate alerts upon detection of
performance and status of the configured managed elements.
FNM_RDR.1(all iterations) requires that data collected about the managed
elements and analysis results be able to be viewed in human readable form.
FNM_STG.1 requires the TOE to protect configuration files from modification or
unauthorized deletion.
O.PASSWORDS FMT_MTD.1(1) defines the access privileges for Administrators and non-
Administrators, stating that only Administrators may configure user accounts
(password is one of the attributes).
FMT_SMR.1 defines the specific security roles to be supported.
O.TOE_ACCESS FIA_AFL.1 requires the TOE detect user login attempt and lock user account when
the number of authentication failure reached the providing counts.
FIA_ATD.1(all iterations) defines the attributes of users, including a username
that is used by the TOE to determine a user’s identity and enforce what type of
access the user has to the TOE (e.g., the TOE associates a username with a role).
FIA_UID.2 requires that a user be identified to the TOE in order to access TOE
functionality or data.
FIA_UAU.2 requires that a user of the SolarWinds Web Console be authenticated
by the TOE before accessing TOE functionality or data.
FIA_UAU.7 provides that the authentication data provided by the user is not
echoed back in plaintext, thus serving to protect that data.
FIA_USB.1(all iterations) defines the attributes that are bound to user sessions for
the access mechanisms provided by the TOE.
FTA_SSL.3 requires the TOE to automatically terminate user sessions that are
inactive, which protects against unauthorized users gaining access via a “forgotten”
session.
8.2.2 Security Assurance Requirements Rationale
The TOE stresses assurance through vendor actions that are within the bounds of current best
commercial practice. The TOE provides, primarily via review of vendor-supplied evidence,
independent confirmation that these actions have been competently performed.
The general level of assurance for the TOE is:
A) Consistent with current best commercial practice for IT development and provides
a product that is competitive against non-evaluated products with respect to
functionality, performance, cost, and time-to-market.

B) The TOE assurance also meets current constraints on widespread acceptance, by
expressing its claims against EAL2 augmented by ALC_FLR.2 from part 3 of the
Common Criteria.
