Protection Profile 

Control Mapping 

PP OVERVIEW

This Extended Package (EP) describes security requirements for a VPN Gateway. This is defined to be a device at the edge of a private network that terminates an IPsec tunnel, which provides device authentication, confidentiality, and integrity of information traversing a public or untrusted network. The EP is intended to provide a minimal, baseline set of requirements that are targeted at mitigating well defined and described threats to VPN Gateway technology. However, this EP is not complete in itself, but rather extends the collaborative Protection Profile for Network Devices (NDcPP) and the collaborative Protection Profile for Stateful Traffic Filter Firewalls (FWcPP).

This U.S. Government Approved Protection Profile is not assigned to any Validated Products
