Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must not have unnecessary services and functions enabled.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Unrelated or unneeded proxy services increase the attack vector and add excessive complexity to the securing of Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) version 8.x.x. Multiple application proxies can be installed on many ALGs. However, proxy types must be limited to related functions. At a minimum, the web and email gateway represent different security domains/trust levels. Organizations should also consider separation of gateways that service the DMZ and the trusted network.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
