V-214619
|
High |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must install updates for predefined signature objects, applications signatures, IDPS policy templates, and device software when new releases are available in accordance with organizational configuration management policy and procedures. |
Failing to update malicious code protection mechanisms, including application software files, signature definitions, and vendor-provided rules, leaves the system vulnerable to exploitation by recently developed attack methods and programs.
The IDPS is a key malicious code protection mechanism in the enclave infrastructure. To ensure this protection is responsive to changes... |

Medium |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must either forward the traffic from inbound connections to be more deeply inspected for malicious code and Layer 7 threats, or the Antivirus and Unified Threat Management (UTM) license must be installed, active, and policies and rules configured. |
UTM is an industry term that was coined to define Layer 7 protection against client-side threats. This does not include IPS (which also has protection against server-to-client attacks) but rather technologies such as network-based antivirus protection, URL filtering, antispam solutions, and content filtering. IPS is primarily focused on network-based attacks... |

V-214636
|
Medium |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must have only active Juniper Networks licenses. |
If the IDP or UTM licenses are allowed to lapse, the Juniper SRX IDPS can still inspect traffic and continue to use the outdated signature database for rules, objects, and dynamic groups. However, updates to the signature database cannot be downloaded from Juniper Networks. This puts the network at risk... |

Medium |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must send an immediate alert to, at a minimum, the Security Control Auditor (SCA) when malicious code is detected. |
Without an alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and the ability to perform forensic analysis and detect rate-based and other anomalies will be impeded.
The IDPS generates an immediate (within seconds) alert which notifies designated personnel of the incident. Sending a message... |

Medium |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must drop packets or disconnect the connection when malicious code is detected. |
Configuring the IDPS to discard and/or redirect based on local organizational incident handling procedures minimizes the impact of this code on the network.
Once an attack object in the IPS policy is matched, the SRX can execute an action on that specific session, along with actions on future sessions. The... |

The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must perform real-time monitoring of files from external sources at network entry/exit points. |
Real-time monitoring of files from external sources at network entry/exit points helps to detect covert malicious code before it is downloaded to or executed by internal and external endpoints. Using malicious code, such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware, an attacker may gain access to sensitive data and systems.... |

V-214632
|
Medium |
The Juniper Networks SRX Series Gateway IDPS must automatically install updates to signature definitions. |
Failing to automatically update malicious code protection mechanisms, including application software files, signature definitions, and vendor-provided rules, leaves the system vulnerable to exploitation by recently developed attack methods and programs. An automatic update process ensures this important task is performed without the need for Security Control Auditor (SCA) intervention.
