The Mission Owner's internet-facing applications must be configured to traverse the Cloud Access Point (CAP) and Virtual Datacenter Security Stack (VDSS) prior to communicating with the internet.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>The CAP and VDSS architectures mitigate potential damages to the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) and provide the ability to detect and prevent an attack before it reaches the DISN. All traffic bound for the internet will traverse the BCAP/ICAP and IAP. Mission applications may be internet facing; internet-facing applications can be unrestricted or restricted (requiring CAC authentication). DOD users on the internet may first connect to their assigned DISN Virtual Private Network (VPN) before accessing Mission Owner enclave or private applications.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
