IRS Safeguards with Palo Alto Networks 2020 Eddie Alligood

This book is an update to the original and is meant to pull together several resources into a central location for the network security related to the IRS requirements. This includes NIST 800-53 rev 4, Center for Internet Security Benchmarks and IRS Publication 1075. The IRS Publication 1075, Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State and Local Agencies and Entities that provides very detailed audit requirements and how these requirements cut across various IT layers e.g. Operating System, Database, and Application to provide end-to-end auditing might not be as apparent and straight forward for all system, networks and security administrators. The Palo Alto Networks firewall version used in this documentation was PAN-OS 9.1.
