The Edge SWG must be configured to remove or disable unrelated or unneeded application proxy services.

Description
Unrelated or unneeded proxy services increase the attack vector and add excessive complexity to the securing of the ALG. Multiple application proxies can be installed on many ALGs. However, proxy types must be limited to related functions. At a minimum, the web and email gateway represent different security domains/trust levels. Organizations should also consider separation of gateways that service the DMZ and the trusted network. Satisfies: SRG-NET-000131-ALG-000086, SRG-NET-000384-ALG-000136

Who does this work

5 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-279180r1170629_chk)

1. In the Edge SWG Web UI, navigate to Configuration. 2. Go to "Services and Proxy Services". Under "Proxy Services", if there are more than HTTP, HTTPS, CAC-Mc-Notify, and any other required reverse proxy (e.g. HTTP/2 reverse proxy like H2-Console), this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-83633r1170628_fix)

1. In the Edge SWG Web UI, navigate to Configuration. 2. Go to "Services and Proxy Services". 3. Under "Proxy Services", remove all services like FTP, etc., other than HTTP, HTTPS, CAC-Mc-Notify, and any other required reverse proxy (e.g., HTTP/2 reverse proxy like H2-Console). 4. Only authorized proxy service must be configured for Intercept, and any service not in use must be removed, not just set to Bypass.
