The firewall protecting the Samsung SDS EMM platform must be configured so that only DoW-approved ports, protocols, and services are enabled. See the DOD Ports, Protocols, Services Management (PPSM) Category Assurance Levels (CAL) list for DoW-approved ports, protocols, and services.

All ports, protocols, and services used on DoW networks must be approved and registered via the DOD PPSM process. This is to ensure that a risk assessment has been completed before a new port, protocol, or service is configured on a DoW network and has been approved by proper DoW authorities. Otherwise, the new port, protocol, or service could cause a vulnerability to the DoW network, which could be exploited by an adversary.

Ask the MDM administrator for a list of ports, protocols, and services that have been configured on the host-based firewall of the Samsung SDS EMM or generate the list by inspecting the firewall. Verify all allowed ports, protocols, and services are included on the DOD PPSM CAL list.

If any allowed ports, protocols, and services on the MDM host-based firewall are not included on the DOD PPSM CAL list, this is a finding.

Turn off any ports, protocols, and services on the MDM host-based firewall that are not on the DOD PPSM CAL list.
