Check content

The reviewer will interview the ISSO to verify a network review has been performed on the network the KVM switch is attached and all findings discovered during the network review dealing with the KVM switch have been closed. If a network review has not been performed on the network attached KVM switch, this is a finding.

Fix text

Perform a self-assessment on the network the KVM switch is attached or request DISA to schedule and perform a Network review. Following the review close all findings.
