| V-66341 | High | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must continuously monitor outbound communications traffic for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions. | If outbound communications traffic is not continuously monitored, hostile activity may not be detected and prevented. Output from application and traffic monitoring serves as input to continuous... |
| V-66327 | High | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must protect against known types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by implementing signature-based screens. | If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources will be unavailable to users.

| V-66323 | High | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall providing content filtering must protect against known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks by implementing statistics-based screens. | If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources will be unavailable to users. Installation of content filtering gateways and application layer firewalls at key... |
| V-66339 | High | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must continuously monitor all inbound communications traffic for unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions. | If inbound communications traffic is not continuously monitored, hostile activity may not be detected and prevented. Output from application and traffic monitoring serves as input to continuous... |
| V-66345 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must generate an alert that can be forwarded to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when threats identified by authoritative sources are detected. | Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information.
The ALG... |

| V-66343 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must generate an alert to, at a minimum, the ISSO and ISSM when unusual/unauthorized activities or conditions are detected during continuous monitoring of communications traffic as it traverses inbound or outbound across internal security boundaries. | Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of major detection incidents that require immediate action and this delay may result in the loss or compromise of information.

| V-66303 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must generate log records when firewall filters, security screens and security policies are invoked and the traffic is denied or restricted. | Without generating log records that log usage of objects by subjects and other objects, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident, or... |
| V-66325 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must implement load balancing on the perimeter firewall, at a minimum, to limit the effects of known and unknown types of Denial of Service (DoS) attacks on the network. | If the network does not provide safeguards against DoS attacks, network resources will be unavailable to users. Load balancing provides service redundancy, which reduces the susceptibility of the... |
| V-66307 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must be configured to support centralized management and configuration of the audit log. | Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a... |
| V-66309 | Medium | In the event that communications with the Syslog server is lost, the Juniper SRX Services Gateway must continue to queue traffic log records locally. | It is critical that when the network element is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it take action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include: software/hardware... |
| V-66305 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must generate audit records when unsuccessful attempts to access security zones occur. | Without generating log records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an... |
| V-66329 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown DoS attacks to protect against the use of internal information systems to launch any Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against other networks or endpoints. | DoS attacks can take multiple forms but have the common objective of overloading or blocking a network or host to deny or seriously degrade performance. If the network does not provide safeguards... |
| V-66321 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must terminate all communications sessions associated with user traffic after 15 minutes or less of inactivity. | Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port... |
| V-66003 | Medium | For User Role Firewalls, the Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must employ user attribute-based security policies to enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources. | Successful authentication must not automatically give an entity access to an asset or security boundary. The lack of authorization-based access control could result in the immediate compromise and... |
| V-66313 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must not be configured as an NTP server since providing this network service is unrelated to the role as a firewall. | Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions (capabilities or processes) and services. Some of these functions and services are installed and enabled by default. The... |
| V-66335 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must deny network communications traffic by default and allow network communications traffic by exception (i.e., deny all, permit by exception). | A deny-all, permit-by-exception network communications traffic policy ensures that only those connections which are essential and approved are allowed.
As a managed interface, the ALG must block... |
| V-66337 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must configure ICMP to meet DoD requirements. | Providing too much information in error messages risks compromising the data and security of the application and system.
Organizations carefully consider the structure/content of error messages.... |
| V-66331 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must only allow inbound communications from organization-defined authorized sources routed to organization-defined authorized destinations. | Unrestricted traffic may contain malicious traffic which poses a threat to an enclave or to other connected networks. Additionally, unrestricted traffic may transit a network, which uses bandwidth... |
| V-66319 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must be configured to prohibit or restrict the use of unauthorized functions, ports, protocols, and/or services, as defined in the PPSM CAL, vulnerability assessments. | In order to prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types); organizations must... |
| V-66317 | Medium | The Juniper SRX Services Gateway Firewall must not be configured as a DHCP server since providing this network service is unrelated to the role as a Firewall. | Information systems are capable of providing a wide variety of functions (capabilities or processes) and services.
