| V-214499 | High | The BIG-IP AFM module must be configured to restrict or block harmful or suspicious communications traffic by controlling the flow of information between interconnected networks based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic. | Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. Blocking or restricting detected harmful or suspicious... |
| V-214498 | Medium | The BIG-IP AFM module must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information within the network based on attribute- and content-based inspection of the source, destination, headers, and/or content of the communications traffic. | Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network. The flow of all network traffic must be monitored and controlled so it does not introduce any... |
| V-214501 | Medium | The BIG-IP AFM module must be configured to only allow incoming communications from authorized sources routed to authorized destinations. | Unrestricted traffic may contain malicious traffic that poses a threat to an enclave or to other connected networks. Additionally, unrestricted traffic may transit a network, which uses bandwidth... |
| V-214500 | Medium | The BIG-IP AFM module must be configured to produce audit records containing information to establish what type of events occurred. | Without establishing what type of event occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
Audit record content that may be... |
| V-214502 | Medium | The BIG-IP AFM module must be configured to handle invalid inputs in a predictable and documented manner that reflects organizational and system objectives. | A common vulnerability of network elements is unpredictable behavior when invalid inputs are received. This requirement guards against adverse or unintended system behavior caused by invalid... |
