The DataPower Gateway must restrict or block harmful or suspicious communications traffic by controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic.
Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Blocking or restricting detected harmful or suspicious communications...Rule Medium Severity -

Group -
The DataPower Gateway providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must use encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Remote access is access to DoD-nonpublic information s...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000062-ALG-000092
Group -
The DataPower Gateway that stores secret or private keys must use FIPS-approved key management technology and processes in the production and control of private/secret cryptographic keys.
Private key data is used to prove that the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the key ...Rule Medium Severity -

The DataPower Gateway must send an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and SCA when an audit processing failure occurs.
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an ...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-NET-000098-ALG-000056
Group -
The DataPower Gateway must protect audit information from unauthorized read access.
Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity th...Rule Medium Severity -
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 -

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

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 -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
