Data Protection |
Encrypt sensitive data in transit |
Shared |
**Security Principle:**
Protect the data in transit against 'out of band' attacks (such as traffic capture) using encryption to ensure that attackers cannot easily read or modify the data.
Set the network boundary and service scope where data in transit encryption is mandatory inside and outside of the network. While this is optional for traffic on private networks, this is critical for traffic on external and public networks.
**Azure Guidance:**
Enforce secure transfer in services such as Azure Storage, where a native data in transit encryption feature is built in.
Enforce HTTPS for workload web application and services by ensuring that any clients connecting to your Azure resources use transportation layer security (TLS) v1.2 or later. For remote management of VMs, use SSH (for Linux) or RDP/TLS (for Windows) instead of an unencrypted protocol.
Note: Data in transit encryption is enabled for all Azure traffic traveling between Azure datacenters. TLS v1.2 or later is enabled on most Azure PaaS services by default.
**Implementation and additional context:**

Identity Management |
Authenticate server and services |
Shared |
**Security Principle:**
Authenticate remote servers and services from your client side to ensure you are connecting to trusted server and services. The most common server authentication protocol is Transport Layer Security (TLS), where the client-side (often a browser or client device) verifies the server by verifying the server’s certificate was issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Note: Mutual authentication can be used when both the server and the client authenticate one-another.
**Azure Guidance:**
Many Azure services support TLS authentication by default. For the services supporting TLS enable/disable switch by the user, ensure it's always enabled to support the server/service authentication. Your client application should also be designed to verify server/service identity (by verifying the server’s certificate issued by a trusted certificate authority) in the handshake stage.
**Implementation and additional context:**
Enforce Transport Layer Security (TLS) for a storage account:

Policy on the use of cryptographic controls |
Shared |
For Cloud Service Customer:
The cloud service customer should implement cryptographic controls for its use of cloud services if justified by the risk analysis. The controls should be of sufficient strength to mitigate the identified risks, whether those controls are supplied by the cloud service customer or by the cloud service provider.
When the cloud service provider offers cryptography, the cloud service customer should review any information supplied by the cloud service provider to confirm whether the cryptographic capabilities:
(i) meet the cloud service customer's policy requirements;
(ii) are compatible with any other cryptographic protection used by the cloud service customer;
(iii) apply to data at rest and in transit to, from and within the
cloud service.
For Cloud Service Provider:
The cloud service provider should provide information to the cloud service customer regarding the circumstances in which it uses cryptography to protect the information it processes. The cloud service provider should also provide information to the cloud service customer about any capabilities it provides that can assist the cloud service customer in applying its own cryptographic protection. |

Shared |
This requirement applies to internal and external networks and any system components that can transmit CUI, including servers, notebook computers, desktop computers, mobile devices, printers, copiers, scanners, facsimile machines, and radios. Unprotected communication paths are susceptible to interception and modification. Encryption protects CUI from unauthorized disclosure during transmission and while in storage. Cryptographic mechanisms that protect the confidentiality of CUI during transmission include TLS and IPsec. Information in storage (i.e. information at rest) refers to the state of CUI when it is not in process or in transit and resides on internal or external storage devices, storage area network devices, and databases. Protecting CUI in storage does not focus on the type of storage device or the frequency of access to that device but rather on the state of the information. This requirement relates to 03.13.11. |

a. Determine the [Assignment: organization-defined cryptographic uses]; and

Cryptography can be employed to support a variety of security solutions, including the protection of classified information and controlled unclassified information, the provision and implementation of digital signatures, and the enforcement of information separation when authorized individuals have the necessary clearances but lack the necessary formal access approvals. Cryptography can also be used to support random number and hash generation. Generally applicable cryptographic standards include FIPS-validated cryptography and NSA-approved cryptography. For example, organizations that need to protect classified information may specify the use of NSA-approved cryptography. Organizations that need to provision and implement digital signatures may specify the use of FIPS-validated cryptography. Cryptography is implemented in accordance with applicable laws, executive orders, directives, regulations, policies, standards, and guidelines. |

Transmission Confidentiality and Integrity |
Shared |
Protect the [Selection (one or more): confidentiality; integrity] of transmitted information. |
Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information applies to internal and external networks as well as any system components that can transmit information, including servers, notebook computers, desktop computers, mobile devices, printers, copiers, scanners, facsimile machines, and radios. Unprotected communication paths are exposed to the possibility of interception and modification. Protecting the confidentiality and integrity of information can be accomplished by physical or logical means. Physical protection can be achieved by using protected distribution systems. A protected distribution system is a wireline or fiber-optics telecommunications system that includes terminals and adequate electromagnetic, acoustical, electrical, and physical controls to permit its use for the unencrypted transmission of classified information. Logical protection can be achieved by employing encryption techniques.
Organizations that rely on commercial providers who offer transmission services as commodity services rather than as fully dedicated services may find it difficult to obtain the necessary assurances regarding the implementation of needed controls for transmission confidentiality and integrity. In such situations, organizations determine what types of confidentiality or integrity services are available in standard, commercial telecommunications service packages. If it is not feasible to obtain the necessary controls and assurances of control effectiveness through appropriate contracting vehicles, organizations can implement appropriate compensating controls. |

Shared |
Implement cryptographic mechanisms to [Selection (one or more): prevent unauthorized disclosure of information; detect changes to information] during transmission. |
Encryption protects information from unauthorized disclosure and modification during transmission. Cryptographic mechanisms that protect the confidentiality and integrity of information during transmission include TLS and IPSec. Cryptographic mechanisms used to protect information integrity include cryptographic hash functions that have applications in digital signatures, checksums, and message authentication codes. |

Operator Session Confidentiality and Integrity |
Shared |
1. Operator sessions, through the jump server when accessing the on-premises or remote (that is hosted or operated by a third party, or both) Swift infrastructure, pose a unique threat because unusual or unexpected activity is more difficult to detect during interactive sessions than it is during application-to-application activity.
2. Therefore, it is important to protect the integrity and confidentiality of these operator sessions to reduce any opportunity for misuse or password theft. When used, access to the virtualisation layer (virtualisation or cloud management console) must be similarly protected. |
To protect the confidentiality and integrity of interactive operator sessions that connect to the on- premises or remote (operated by a service provider or outsourcing agent) Swift infrastructure or to a service provider or outsourcing agent Swift-related applications. |
