Assessment Title
Rule Text
For Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)/Platform as a Service (PaaS), the Mission Owner must configure an intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) to protect DOD virtual machines (VMs), services, and applications.
Description
Discussion Text
Network environments and applications installed using an IaaS/PaaS cloud service offering where the Mission Owner has control over the environment must comply with DOD network infrastructure and host policies. Putting an application in the cloud does not take care of all security responsibilities.
Without coordinated reporting between cloud service environments used for the DOD mission, it is not possible to identify the true scale and possible target of an attack. An IDPS protects Mission Owner enclaves and applications hosted in an off-premise cloud service offering and may be deployed within the cloud service environment, cloud access point, or supporting Core Data Center (CDC). Additionally, an IDPS facilitates the reporting of incidents and aids in the coordination of response actions between all stakeholders of the cloud service offering and/or mission owner applications.
The Mission Owner and/or their cybersecurity service provider (CSSP) must be able to monitor the virtual network boundary. For dedicated infrastructure with a DODIN connection (Levels 4–6), implement an IDPS that monitors and works with the virtual security infrastructure (e.g., firewall, routing tables, web application firewall, etc.) to protect traffic flow inbound and outbound to/from the virtual network to the DODIN connection.
