Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session.
If the BIG-IP Core does not serve as an intermediary for remote access traffic (e.g., web content filter, TLS, and webmail) for virtual servers, this is not applicable. When intermediary services for remote access communications are provided, verify the BIG-IP Core is configured to use encryption services that implement NIST SP 800-52 Revision 1 compliant cryptography to protect the confidentiality of connections to virtual servers. Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Profiles >> SSL >> Client Verify a profile exists that is FIPS compliant. Select FIPS-compliant profile. Verify "Ciphers" under "Configuration" section is configured to use FIPS-compliant ciphers. Verify the BIG-IP Core is configured to use a FIPS-compliant profile: Navigate to the BIG-IP System manager >> Local Traffic >> Virtual Servers >> Virtual Servers List tab. Select Virtual Servers(s) from the list to verify. Verify under "Configuration" section, that FIPS-compliant profile is in the "Selected" area for "SSL Profile (Client)". If the BIG-IP Core is not configured to use encryption services that implement NIST SP 800-52 Revision 1 compliant cryptography to protect the confidentiality of connections to virtual servers, this is a finding.
If intermediary services for remote access communications traffic are provided, configure the BIG-IP Core to use encryption services that implement NIST SP 800-52 Revision 1 compliant cryptography to protect the confidentiality of connections to virtual servers.
