Kona Site Defender must immediately use updates made to policy enforcement mechanisms to enforce that all traffic flows over HTTPS port 443.
Information flow policies regarding dynamic information flow control include, for example, allowing or disallowing information flows based on changes to the PPSM CAL, vulnerability assessments, or ...Rule High Severity -
Kona Site Defender must immediately apply updates to the Kona Rule Set to block designated traffic of interest in response to new or emerging threats.
Information flow policies regarding dynamic information flow control include, for example, allowing or disallowing information flows based on changes to the PPSM CAL, vulnerability assessments, or ...Rule High Severity -
Kona Site Defender must immediately use updates made to policy enforcement mechanisms to block traffic from organizationally defined geographic regions.
Information flow policies regarding dynamic information flow control include, for example, allowing or disallowing information flows based on changes to the PPSM CAL, vulnerability assessments, or ...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender must immediately use updates made to policy enforcement mechanisms to allow traffic from organizationally defined IP addresses (i.e., IP whitelist).
Information flow policies regarding dynamic information flow control include, for example, allowing or disallowing information flows based on changes to the PPSM CAL, vulnerability assessments, or ...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against data mining, Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must prevent code injection attacks from being launched against data storage objects, including, at a minimum, databases, database records, queries, and fields.
Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to prevent attacks launched against organizational information from unaut...Rule Medium Severity -
To protect against data mining, Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must prevent 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 prevent attacks launched against organizational information from unaut...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender must off-load audit records onto a centralized log server.
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Th...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender must off-load audit records onto a centralized log server in real time.
Off-loading ensures audit information does not get overwritten if the limited audit storage capacity is reached and also protects the audit record in case the system/component being audited is comp...Rule Low Severity -
Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must protect against known types of denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by employing signatures.
If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources may not be available to users during an attack. Installation of content filtering gateways and application layer f...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender providing user authentication intermediary services using PKI-based user authentication must only accept end entity certificates issued by DoD PKI or DoD-approved PKI Certification Authorities (CAs) for the establishment of protected sessions.
Non-DoD approved PKIs have not been evaluated to ensure that they have security controls and identity vetting procedures in place that are sufficient for DoD systems to rely on the identity asserte...Rule High Severity -
Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must block malicious code upon detection.
Taking an appropriate action based on local organizational incident handling procedures minimizes the impact of malicious code on the network. This requirement is limited to ALGs, web content filt...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must continuously monitor inbound communications traffic crossing internal security boundaries for unusual or unauthorized activities or conditions.
If inbound communications traffic is not continuously monitored, hostile activity may not be detected and prevented. Output from application and traffic monitoring serves as input to continuous mon...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender providing content filtering must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when threats identified by authoritative sources (e.g., IAVMs or CTOs) 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. The ALG generate...Rule Medium Severity -
Kona Site Defender must check the validity of all data inputs except those specifically identified by the organization.
Invalid user input occurs when a user inserts data or characters into an application's data entry fields and the application is unprepared to process that data. This results in unanticipated applic...Rule Medium Severity
