Title
The FA will ensure that if the firewall product operates on an OS platform, the host must be STIG compliant prior to the installation of the firewall product. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
If the host that a firewall engine is operating on is not secured, the firewall itself is exposed to greater risk.
Check Content
Review documentation that the OS was STIG compliant prior to firewall installation and that the appropriate patches have been applied that address all IAVAs.
Fix Text
The firewall administrator will install all patches that address IAVA.
