Objective: Configure local firewalls to prevent unauthorized connections, and allow configuration changes only through authorized administrative accounts.
Example: Firewalls installed on local users' computers should not allow users to change access control lists (ACLs) or other configuration parameters. Configuration should only be conducted through authorized accounts, typically administrative accounts or roles. This control objective helps prevent unauthorized opening of ports and pathways that are potential vulnerabilities.
