Description
This requirement is intended to address the confidentiality and integrity of system information at rest (e.g., firewall rule sets or ACLs) when it is located on a storage device within the firewall or as a component of the firewall implementation. This protection is required to prevent unauthorized alteration, corruption, or disclosure of information when not stored directly on the firewall.

Review the configuration of the firewall implementation. Verify all configuration files, system files, and logs located on storage devices within, or attached to, firewall components protect the confidentiality and integrity of the stored information. If the firewall implementation does not protect the confidentiality and integrity of data at rest, this is a finding.
