The ALG providing intermediary services for remote access communications traffic must provide the capability to immediately disconnect or disable remote access to the information system.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Without the ability to immediately disconnect or disable remote access, an attack or other compromise taking progress would not be immediately stopped. Remote access functionality must have the capability to immediately disconnect current users remotely accessing the information system and/or disable further remote access. The remote access functionality may implement features, such as automatic disconnect (or user-initiated disconnect) in case of adverse information based on an indicator of compromise or attack. This requirement applies to ALGs providing remote access termination (e.g., OWA or TLS gateway) as part of its intermediary services.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
