SRG-NET-000132-ALG-000087
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL and vulnerability assessments.
In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must disable...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000138-ALG-000063
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must uniquely identify and authenticate organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of organizational users).
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, organizational users must be identified and authenticated to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Organizational users...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000138-ALG-000089
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must restrict user authentication traffic to specific authentication server(s).
User authentication can be used as part of the policy filtering rule sets. Some URLs or network resources can be restricted to authenticated users only. Users are prompted by the application or bro...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000140-ALG-000094
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must use multifactor authentication for network access to non-privileged accounts.
To assure accountability and prevent unauthenticated access, non-privileged users must utilize multifactor authentication to prevent potential misuse and compromise of the system. Multifactor auth...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000147-ALG-000095
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to non-privileged accounts.
A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000164-ALG-000100
Group -
SRG-NET-000166-ALG-000101
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing PKI-based user authentication intermediary services must map authenticated identities to the user account.
Authorization for access to any network element requires an approved and assigned individual account identifier. To ensure only the assigned individual is using the account, the account must be bou...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000169-ALG-000102
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing user authentication intermediary services must uniquely identify and authenticate non-organizational users (or processes acting on behalf of non-organizational users).
Lack of authentication enables anyone to gain access to the network or possibly a network element that provides opportunity for intruders to compromise resources within the network infrastructure. ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000192-ALG-000121
Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing content filtering must not have a front side handler configured facing an internal network.
DoS attacks can take multiple forms but have the common objective of overloading or blocking a network or host to deny or seriously degrade performance. If the network does not provide safeguards a...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000230-ALG-000113
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must protect the authenticity of communications sessions.
Authenticity protection provides protection against man-in-the-middle attacks/session hijacking and the insertion of false information into sessions. This requirement focuses on communications pro...Rule Medium Severity -
