The IIS 10.0 web server must restrict inbound connections from non-secure zones.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform management functions. A web server can be accessed remotely and must be capable of restricting access from what the DoD defines as non-secure zones. Non-secure zones are defined as any IP, subnet, or region defined as a threat to the organization. The non-secure zones must be defined for public web servers logically located in a DMZ, as well as private web servers with perimeter protection devices. By restricting access from non-secure zones through internal web server access lists, the web server can stop or slow denial of service (DoS) attacks on the web server.
