Title

Deny by Default — Allow by Exception

Control

Deny network communications traffic by default and allow network communications traffic by exception [Selection (one or more): at managed interfaces; for {{ insert: param, sc-07.05_odp.02 }} ].

Discussion

Denying by default and allowing by exception applies to inbound and outbound network communications traffic. A deny-all, permit-by-exception network communications traffic policy ensures that only those system connections that are essential and approved are allowed. Deny by default, allow by exception also applies to a system that is connected to an external system.

Parameters

sc-07.05_odp.01: [at managed interfaces; for {{ insert: param, sc-07.05_odp.02 }} ]
sc-07.05_odp.02: systems
