Boundary Controls

The preferred firewall solution is a dedicated GC firewall, but local authorities can utilise an existing physical channel on an existing firewall chassis if they can demonstrate strong configuration control and management of the entire chassis.
The new firewall channel will be locked down in accordance with the "Take on Guide" summary rule base and the configuration of the new firewall/ firewall channel is under GC control.
