U.S. Department of Defense Application-Level Firewall Protection Profile for Basic Robustness Environments

摘要

This Application Level Firewall Protection Profile defines the minimum security requirements for firewalls used by U. S. Government organizations handling unclassified information in a low-risk environment. Firewalls may consist of one or more devices that act as part of an organization s overall security defense by isolating an organization s internal network from the Internet or other external networks. The Protection Profile defines the assumptions about the security aspects of the environment in which the firewall will be used, defines the threats security objectives of the firewall and its environment, defines the functional and assurance requirements to meet those objectives, and provides a rationale demonstrating how the requirements meet the security objectives.
