The use of authentication in the previously described goal ([Restrict Access to Only Trusted Computers](restrict-access-to-only-trusted-computers.md)) enables a device in the isolated domain to block traffic from untrusted devices. However, it does not prevent an untrusted device from eavesdropping on the network traffic shared between two trusted devices, because by default network packets are not encrypted.
The use of authentication in the previously described goal ([Restrict Access to Only Trusted Devices](restrict-access-to-only-trusted-devices.md)) enables a device in the isolated domain to block traffic from untrusted devices. However, it does not prevent an untrusted device from eavesdropping on the network traffic shared between two trusted devices, because by default network packets are not encrypted.
For devices that share sensitive information over the network, Windows Firewall with Advanced Security allows you to require that all such network traffic be encrypted. Using encryption can help you comply with regulatory and legislative requirements such as those found in the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and other government and industry regulations. By creating connection security rules that apply to devices that host and exchange sensitive data, you can help protect the confidentiality of that data by encrypting it.
