STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW) FOR Network Event Logging and Audit SOW 07-7G7, 5 July 2007, 1.0 SCOPE 1.1 Title: Network Event Logging and Audit. 1.2 Application: Network Security. 1.3 Background: Access to the internet for DMEA employees and DMEA customers is a vital part of the engineering process. Maintaining network security requires the use of multiple levels of event logging to track network events. System logs, firewall logs, router logs, etc. produce approximately 250 MB of data per day. Manual auditing of these logs is not possible and a single point of collection, collation and reporting is required. This SOW provides for the purchase of products and services to collect, store, and report on network events that affect DMEA?s cyber security operations. 1.4 Purpose: The objective of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to define a process by which a logging and audit system along with maintenance and technical support can be obtained and installed in the building at 4234 54th Street, McClellan, CA 95652. 2.0 Applicable Documents: There are no additional documents applicable to this SOW. 3.0 Requirements: The contractor shall comply with all requirements of this section. 3.1 Location: The logging and audit system shall be installed at DMEA, 4234 54th Street, McClellan, CA 95652. 3.2 System: The contractor shall supply the logging and audit system. If hardware is provided, the hardware shall be rack mountable in a standard 19? rack. The logging and audit system shall support the requirements of section 3.7. 3.3 Work to be performed: The contractor shall install logging and audit system as required make the system operational. The contractor shall provide initial training in all aspects of the systems use for at least four (4) people either onsite or in the greater Sacramento area. The training shall commence within two (2) weeks of installation. The contractor shall assist DMEA in the initial set up of filters, reports, backups, and monitoring of the system. The type and duration of training shall be identified in the contractor?s proposal. 3.4 Maintenance: The contractor shall provide maintenance and technical support for a period of one year from the date of installation. The contractor shall also provide for three additional one year options for maintenance and upgrades. Software updates to the product shall be provided via the web or via CD as they become available. 3.5 Applicable standards: There are no additional standards that are applicable to this contract. 3.6 Acceptance criteria: The contractor shall develop and conduct an acceptance test that demonstrates that all requirements of this contract have been met. The initial acceptance test shall be conducted and successfully completed immediately after installation. 3.7 Special requirements: The following special requirements apply to this contract: 3.7.1 The system shall support a minimum sustained processing rate/event rate of at least 100 KB/second or 1000 transactions per second and a burst rate of at least 200 KB/second or 2000 transactions per second. The contractor shall specify both the sustained and burst rates in their proposal. The system shall notify the administrators when the burst rate has been exceeded and data is being lost. 3.7.2 The system shall be capable of storing a minimum of ninety (90) days worth of data on-line at the highest anticipated storage requirement (See paragraph 3.7.1.). On-line storage of one (1) years data as specified is preferred. Except when the system?s burst rate is exceeded, all data from all sensors shall be stored. 3.7.3 All reported events shall be stored so long as the burst rate is not exceeded. The system shall have the ability to compress, encrypt, and store files in a flat file. Encryption shall be a minimum of 3DES, but AES is preferable. 3.7.4 The system shall provide the following minimum capabilities: 3.7.4.1 Collect data Receive/pull data from any syslog enabled device. Receive and/or pull data from computer/network security sensors, such as the following: Firewalls, including Checkpoint Firewall, routers, switches, Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS), McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator, Host Intrusion Detection Systems (HIDS), Intrusion Protection Systems (IPS) including TippingPoint Technologies IPS, Anti-Virus (AV) systems, databases, syslog servers, vulnerability scanners, including e-Eye Retina, etc. Allow administrator access to all original data generated by sensors. Permit rapid system reconfiguration required to receive and process data from new devices, systems and applications and accommodate changes in new software versions. 3.7.4.2 Aggregate data Aggregate collected data. Normalize collected data to facilitate correlation of like event data. Store the aggregated data for rapid mining and retrieval. 3.7.4.3 Process data Correlate data. Real-time data with historical data to expose events which indicate long-term low-level incidents. Categorize data. Prioritize data. 3.7.4.4 Visualize/Report Data Generate reports based on pre-defined and user defied criteria. Create custom detection rules. Notify operators of activity falling into operator-specified categories in real-time using graphic user interface based tools. 3.7.4.5 Protect data Protects data at rest (ensures confidentiality, integrity, availability) using 3DES or AES encryption. Protects data in transport (ensures confidentiality, integrity, availability) using 3DES or AES encryption. 3.7.4.6 Ease of Use Installation, configuration, use, and maintenance shall require minimal training. Graphic user interface is configurable to satisfy user preferences. Has built-in help for operators. Training and training documentation is provided. 3.7.5 The contractor is required to provide advance notification prior to conducting any on-site installation or maintenance. A two (2) day minimum notice during normal business hours shall be given. All installation and maintenance work shall be performed by US citizens. Contractor personnel shall provide proof of citizenship in accordance with the DMEA visitor approval process in effect at the time the visit is requested and prior to being allowed entry into the facility. During periods of exceptionally heightened security, additional advance notice and background investigations of contractor personnel may be required prior to gaining entry into DMEA.
