Users must ensure Redis Enterprise aligns with the VA-approved configuration baseline for version 5.x referenced in the Reference tab of this entry.
Per the Initial Product Review, users must abide by the following constraints:
- Use a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module to secure VA sensitive data in applications developed using Redis Enterprise Software (RS).
- Due to potential information security risks, cloud based technologies may not be used without the approval of the VA Enterprise Cloud Services (ECS) Group. This body is in part responsible for ensuring organizational information, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and VA sensitive data are not compromised. (Ref: VA Directive 6004, VA Directive 6517, VA Directive 6513 and VA Directive 6102).
- The database server and its components must adhere to VA Baseline Configuration Standards. In addition, the following security measures will help ensure the data is secured and protected:
- Ensure connections between On-Line Data Base components (e.g., clients, application server, data store) are encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS), rather than Secure Sockets Layer (SSL);
- Employ security authorization controls, least privileges and separation of duties to prevent unauthorized access to VA sensitive data;
- Deploy a VA-approved web application firewall (WAF) and database firewall to add layers of security to the database system.
- An approved VA Security Configuration Baseline must be created and ratified before Redis Enterprise Software is used in VA. It is worth noting that DISA STIGS, CIS Benchmarks, or other NIST validated guidelines do not exist at this time for Redis Enterprise Software.
