A Goal VPN Protection Profile for Protecting Sensitive Information

Abstract

This PP specifies the Department of Defense's (DoD) goal security requirements for protecting its own sensitive information. However, VPN technology may be used in many environments, both public and private. For instance, in the U.S. DoD an example of sensitive information is unclassified data that affect Mission Support operations, which are important to support deployed or contingency forces. Such data requires a medium level of robustness and security. However, without the inclusion of additional layers of security integrated to provide for defense-in-depth, mechanisms specified by this protection profile are not sufficient for supporting a high level of robustness. This should also be true for non-DoD organization's sensitive information. Such material is any information deemed important to the organization, the loss of which might cause financial difficulties, schedule impacts, or affects the well being of employees.
