Assessment Title
Rule Text
The Cisco ACI must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for controlling the flow of information within the network based on organization-defined information flow control policies.
Description
Discussion Text
Information flow control regulates where information is allowed to travel within a network and between interconnected networks. The flow of all network traffic must be monitored and controlled so it does not introduce any unacceptable risk to the network infrastructure or data. Information flow control policies and enforcement mechanisms are commonly employed by organizations to control the flow of information between designated sources and destinations (e.g., networks, individuals, and devices) within information systems.
In Cisco ACI, the administrator uses "contracts" to define security policies that control traffic between different endpoint groups (EPGs), essentially acting as a more granular and flexible ACL mechanism by specifying source and destination addresses, ports, and protocols based on the desired network segmentation needs. Add multiple filter rules to create a comprehensive set of allowed traffic patterns.
