An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>A deny-all, permit-by-exception network communications traffic policy ensures that only those connections which are essential and approved are allowed. A virtual server is an instance where the device accepts traffic from outside hosts and redirects traffic to one or more real servers. In keeping with a deny-all, permit-by-exception policy, the services that the device provides to outside hosts must be only those that are necessary, documented, and approved.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
