Vulnerability discussion

Data will be leaving the endpoint to be analyzed by the ATD. Because data could feasibly be intercepted en route, risk of outside threats is minimized by ensuring the ATD is in the same enclave as the endpoints.

Check content

If an ATD server is not being used in the environment, this is Not Applicable. Consult with the ISSO/ISSM to review the written policy to ensure the usage of an ATD is documented. If the usage of an ATD is not documented in the written policy, this is a finding. Determine the location of the ATD being used by the organization and verify the ATD is confined to the organization's enclave. If the location of the ATD being used by the organization cannot be determined and the ATD is not confined to the organization's enclave, this is a finding.

Fix text

Relocate or reinstall the ATD being used by the organization to be confined to the organization's enclave.

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.
