Vulnerability discussion

Ensuring the integrity of transmitted information requires the operating system take feasible measures to employ transmission layer security. This requirement applies to communications across internal and external networks.

Check content

All remote sessions must be conducted via encrypted services and ports. Ask the operator to document all configured external ports and protocols. If any unencrypted connections are used, this is a finding.

Fix text

All remote sessions must be conducted via SSH and IPsec. Ensure that SSH and IPsec are the only protocols used.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
