Firewall Change Procedures

If security issues are uncovered it will be the responsibility of the system owner to address those issues before the rule is approved for implementation.
When planning firewall rules, it is important to take this additional delay into consideration. If your request will expose a system externally you will not be able to request the rule the day before you need it to be open.
Rule requests that open up ports between two internal systems in different cores will not require additional vetting at this time, and those rules will be evaluated and applied according to our regular firewall change process.
