Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Directly enforces the domain-fronting security policy on proxy requests so that crafted HTTP headers cannot bypass the intended access restriction.
Enforces correct information-flow rules between external clients and internal destinations, blocking the header manipulation that defeats domain-fronting protection.
Requires boundary devices such as FortiProxy to inspect and filter traffic at the network edge, limiting the ability of unauthenticated users to evade domain-fronting controls.
