The Cisco perimeter router must be configured to not be a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peer to an approved gateway service provider.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
ISPs use BGP to share route information with other autonomous systems (i.e., other ISPs and corporate networks). If the perimeter router was configured to BGP peer with an ISP, NIPRNet routes could be advertised to the ISP, thereby creating a backdoor connection from the internet to the NIPRNet.
