[Verse 1]
Triple-A guards the castle gates tonight
TACACS and RADIUS verify each login right
Local accounts locked down when strangers call
Authentication armor protecting us all
[Chorus]
SSH whispers secrets, Telnet screams out loud
SNMPv3 encrypts data in the crowd
Syslog streams to central towers high
NTP keeps our timestamps synchronized
Network shields defending what we treasure
STIGs ensure security beyond measure
[Verse 2]
Management plane secured with cryptic keys
No cleartext passwords floating on the breeze
Firmware validated, versions blessed and clean
DoD banners warn of what should not be seen
[Chorus]
SSH whispers secrets, Telnet screams out loud
SNMPv3 encrypts data in the crowd
Syslog streams to central towers high
NTP keeps our timestamps synchronized
Network shields defending what we treasure
STIGs ensure security beyond measure
[Bridge]
Access lists filter ingress and egress flow
Anti-spoofing catches packets that shouldn't go
OSPF, BGP, EIGRP authenticate each route
Routing protocols secured from their very root
[Verse 3]
Routers, switches, firewalls align
Cross-cutting requirements drawn in battle lines
Every device configured to the same strict code
DISA standards paving our secure road
[Final Chorus]
SSH whispers secrets, Telnet screams out loud
SNMPv3 encrypts data in the crowd
Syslog streams to central towers high
NTP keeps our timestamps synchronized
Network shields defending what we treasure
STIGs ensure security beyond measure
[Outro]
Three device types, one unified stance
Network security gets its second chance
