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

Abstract

This Application Level Firewall Protection Profile defines the minimum security requirements for firewalls used by U. S. Government organizations, specifically the Department of Defense, handling unclassified or sensitive but unclassified information for Mission-Critical Categories in a moderate-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 that are to be addressed by the firewall, defines implementation-independent 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.
