CAT II
Remote access to the web server must follow access policy or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements.
From: Web Server Security Requirements Guide (V4R4)
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Remote access to the web server is any access that communicates through an external, non-organization-controlled network. Remote access can be used to access hosted applications or to perform management functions.
A web server can be accessed remotely and must be able to enforce remote access policy requirements or work in conjunction with enterprise tools designed to enforce policy requirements.
Examples of the web server enforcing a remote access policy are implementing IP filtering rules, using https instead of http for communication, implementing secure tokens, and validating users.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
