Public web server resources must not be shared with private assets.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-2234 WG040 IIS7 SV-32631r2_rule Medium
Description
It is important to segregate public web server resources from private resources located behind the DoD DMZ in order to protect private assets. When folders, drives or other resources are directly shared between the public web server and private servers the intent of data and resource segregation can be compromised. Resources, such as, printers, files, and folders/directories must not be shared between public web servers and assets located within the internal network.
