The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must be configured to fail securely in the event of an operational failure of the firewall filtering or boundary protection function. An XCCDF Rule
The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must be configured to fail securely in the event of an operational failure of the firewall filtering or boundary protection function.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If a boundary protection device fails in an unsecure manner (open), information external to the boundary protection device may enter, or the device may permit unauthorized information release.
Secure failure ensures when a boundary control device fails, all traffic will be subsequently denied.
Fail secure is a condition achieved by employing information system mechanisms to ensure in the event of operational failures of boundary protection devices at managed interfaces (e.g., routers, firewalls, guards, and application gateways residing on protected subnetworks commonly referred to as demilitarized zones), information systems do not enter into unsecure states where intended security properties no longer hold.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
