LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The TPS must provide audit record generation capability for events where communication traffic is blocked or restricted based on policy filters, rules, signatures, and anomaly analysis.To support the centralized analysis capability, the IDPS components must be able to provide the information in a format (e.g., Syslog) that can be ext...

LOWMEDIUMHIGH
In the event of a logging failure caused by the lack of audit record storage capacity, the SMS must continue generating and storing audit records, overwriting the oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner using Audit Log maintenance.It is critical that when the TPS is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it takes action to mitigate the failure. The IDPS performs ...

LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The SMS must be configured to remove or disable nonessential capabilities on SMS and TPS, which are not required for operation or not related to IDPS functionality.An IDPS can be capable of providing a wide variety of capabilities. Not all of these capabilities are necessary. Unnecessary services, functions, and ...

The TPS must block any prohibited mobile code at the enclave boundary when it is detected.Mobile code is defined as software modules obtained from remote systems, transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on a local sys...
V-242191
LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The TPS must fail to a secure state which maintains access control mechanisms when the IDPS hardware, software, or firmware fails on initialization/shutdown or experiences a sudden abort during normal operation (also known as "Fail closed").Failure to a known safe state helps prevent systems from failing to a state that may cause loss of data or unauthorized access to system resources. Pr...

LOWMEDIUMHIGH
The TPS must block outbound traffic containing known and unknown denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by ensuring that security policies, signatures, rules, and anomaly detection techniques are applied to outbound communications traffic.The TPS must include protection against DoS attacks that originate from inside the enclave which can affect either internal or external systems. These...
