Discussion

Unrestricted traffic may contain malicious traffic which poses a threat to an enclave or to other connected networks. Additionally, unrestricted traffic may transit a network, which uses bandwidth and other resources.

Access control policies and access control lists implemented on devices that control the flow of network traffic (e.g., application level firewalls and Web content filters), ensure the flow of traffic is only allowed from authorized sources to authorized destinations. Networks with different levels of trust (e.g., the Internet or CDS) must be kept separate.

Check

Type “Access Control List” in nav search. Verify that Access Control Lists are used for all services. If Access Control lists are not used, this is a finding.

Fix

Type “Access Control List” in nav search. Create ACL with desired address ranges and gates. Apply this ACL to all Front Side Handlers or Firewalls.
