The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must provide audit record generation capability for detecting events based on implementation of policy filters, rules, and signatures.
Without the capability to generate audit records, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or identify those responsible for one. While au...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must restrict or block harmful or suspicious communications traffic between interconnected networks based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic.
The IDPS enforces approved authorizations by controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks to prevent harmful or suspicious traffic does spread to these interconnected network...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown DoS attacks by ensuring that rules are applied to outbound communications traffic.
The IDPS must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave which can affect either internal or external systems. These attacks may use legitimate or rogue endpoints...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown DoS attacks by ensuring that signature-based objects are applied to outbound communications traffic.
The IDPS must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave which can affect either internal or external systems. These attacks may use legitimate or rogue endpoints...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must detect, at a minimum, mobile code that is unsigned or exhibiting unusual behavior, has not undergone a risk assessment, or is prohibited for use based on a risk assessment.
Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local system without explicit installation or execution ...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against unauthorized data mining, the Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must prevent code injection attacks launched against application objects, including, at a minimum, application URLs and application code.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against unauthorized data mining, the Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must detect SQL injection attacks launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, and database fields.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks that use unauthorized data mining techniques to attack ...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must protect against or limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by employing rate-based attack prevention behavior analysis.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attack, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of IDPS detection and prevention components (i.e., sensors) at key bound...Rule Medium Severity -
The IDPS must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when intrusion detection events are detected that indicate a compromise or potential for compromise.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of intrusion detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. In accordance...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when root-level intrusion events that provide unauthorized privileged access are detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information. CJCSM 6510.01B, "...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must automatically install updates to signature definitions.
Failing to automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms, including application software files, signature definitions, and vendor-provided rules, leaves the system vulnerable to exploit...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must perform real-time monitoring of files from external sources at network entry/exit points.
Real-time monitoring of files from external sources at network entry/exit points helps to detect covert malicious code before it is downloaded to or executed by internal and external endpoints. Usi...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must drop packets or disconnect the connection when malicious code is detected.
Configuring the IDPS to discard and/or redirect based on local organizational incident handling procedures minimizes the impact of this code on the network. Once an attack object in the IPS policy...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must send an immediate alert to, at a minimum, the Security Control Auditor (SCA) when malicious code is detected.
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be i...Rule Medium Severity -
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must either forward the traffic from inbound connections to be more deeply inspected for malicious code and Layer 7 threats, or the Antivirus and Unified Threat Management (UTM) license must be installed, active, and policies and rules configured.
UTM is an industry term that was coined to define Layer 7 protection against client-side threats. This does not include IPS (which also has protection against server-to-client attacks) but rather t...Rule Medium Severity
