The IDPS must identify information flows by data type specification and usage when transferring information between different security domains.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

Description
Traffic flows must be identified by types and traffic rates when information is being transferred between different security domains. This requirement applies to Cross Domain Solutions. Implementation and placement of the IDS and IDP sensors and components must not be designed to require information transfer across security domains that differ in classification. There is a high risk of contamination because of the monitoring functionality of the sensors.
