C5 (Germany) C5-COS-03: Monitoring of connections in the Cloud Service Provider's network

Separate trusted from untrusted networks into risk-based security zones, configure physical and virtual networks to restrict and monitor those connections, reassess that design at least annually, and periodically re-justify every service, port and protocol in use.
