Description
This requirement addresses configuration management of the network element as well as detection of unauthorized devices on the network. The network element must automatically detect the installation of unauthorized software or hardware onto the device itself. Monitoring may be accomplished on an ongoing basis or by periodic monitoring. Automated mechanisms can be implemented within the network element and/or in another separate information system or device. This is not a native function of the firewall. However, there is a DoD requirement to employ an automated mechanism within the organization to detect the addition of unauthorized devices, including firewalls.
