Assessment Title
Rule Text
The F5 BIG-IP appliance providing intermediary services for remote access must use FIPS-validated cryptographic algorithms, including TLS 1.2 at a minimum.
Description
Discussion Text
Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session.
Remote access is access to DoW nonpublic information systems by an authorized user (or an information system) communicating through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access methods include broadband and wireless connections. Remote access methods include, for example, proxied remote encrypted traffic (e.g., TLS gateways, web content filters, and webmail proxies).
Encryption provides a means to secure the remote connection to prevent unauthorized access to the data traversing the remote access connection, thereby providing a degree of confidentiality. The encryption strength of the mechanism is selected based on the security categorization of the information.
This requirement applies to ALGs providing remote access proxy services as part of its intermediary services (e.g., OWA or SSL VPN gateway).
Satisfies: SRG-NET-000062-ALG-000011, SRG-NET-000062-ALG-000150, SRG-NET-000063-ALG-000012, SRG-NET-000230-ALG-000113, SRG-NET-000355-ALG-000117
