Logical separation must occur between testing and development network segments within the same test and development environment.

From Test and Development Zone B Security Technical Implementation Guide

Part of ENTD0220 - No logical separation between network segments.

Associated with IA controls: DCSP-1, ECSC-1

SV-51528r1_rule Logical separation must occur between testing and development network segments within the same test and development environment.

Vulnerability discussion

Logical network segmentation is a way to restrict access between test and development systems to reduce the chance of code becoming victim to compromise. Since test and development segments may not have the same level of IA assurance, logical separation is required.

Check content

Determine whether logical separation is present between test and development network segments. Review the test and development network diagrams to ensure they have been properly documented. If logical separation has not been established and documented between test and development network segments in the environment, this is a finding.

Fix text

Establish logical separation between test and development network segments in the environment. Document the logical separation on the network diagrams.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
