Title

Server VLAN interfaces must be protected by restrictive ACLs using a deny-by-default security posture. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Protecting data sitting in a server VLAN is necessary and can be accomplished using access control lists on VLANs provisioned for servers. Without proper access control of traffic entering or leaving the server VLAN, potential threats such as a denial of service, data corruption, or theft could occur, resulting in the inability to complete mission requirements by authorized users.
