Example of a vulnerability: An analysis of performance and traffic flow
reveals an overloaded active network component. During a determination of
the protection requirements by the affected communications route, high
requirements concerning availability and performance were established. This
vulnerability requires an adaptation of the network segmentation or a
replacement of the network components with a more efficient model (refer to
S 5.61 Suitable physical segmentation, S 5.62 Suitable logical segmentation,
S 5.1 Removal, or short-circuiting ond gournding, of unneeded lines and S
5.13 Appropriate use of equipment for network coupling).
Additional controls:
- Has the existing network environment been documented in sufficient
detail?
- Is sufficient know-how available for a security analysis of the network
environment?
- Have requirements concerning the confidentiality, availability and integrity
of the network been defined and documented?
