Vulnerability discussion

In order to protect DoD data and systems, all remote access to DoD information systems must be mediated through a managed access control point, such as a remote access server in a DMZ.

Check content

Interview the application representative and determine if the application is publicly accessible. If the application is publicly accessible and traffic is not being routed through a DMZ, this is a finding.

Fix text

Setup a DMZ between DoD and public networks.

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.
