Part of Network KVM encryption
Associated with IA controls: ECNK-1
Because all administrative traffic contains sensitive data such as unencrypted passwords, it will be encrypted to protect it from interception. The KVM switch will be configured to require encryption for all communications via the network. NIST FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography will be used.
The reviewer will, with the assistance of the ISSO or SA, verify the network attached KVM switch is configured for encryption using FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography. If the network KVM switch is not configured to use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography, this is a finding.
Reconfigure the network KVM switch to use FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography for all communications across the network.
