high
A firewall provides a line of defense against attack. To be effective, it must be enabled and properly configured. Unsolicited inbound connections may be malicious attempts to gain access to a system. Unsolicited inbound connections, for which there is no rule allowing the connection, will be blocked in the domain.
medium
A firewall provides a line of defense against attack. To be effective, it must be enabled and properly configured. Outbound connections are allowed in the domain, unless a rule explicitly blocks the connection. This allows normal outbound communication, which could be restricted as necessary with additional rules.
low
A firewall provides a line of defense against attack. To be effective, it must be enabled and properly configured. The firewall log file size for a domain connection will be set to ensure enough capacity is allocated for audit data.
low
A firewall provides a line of defense against attack. To be effective, it must be enabled and properly configured. Logging of dropped packets for a domain connection will be enabled to maintain an audit trail of potential issues.
low
A firewall provides a line of defense against attack. To be effective, it must be enabled and properly configured. Logging of successful connections for a domain connection will be enabled to maintain an audit trail if issues are discovered.
