Title

The network-facing component of a network attached KVM switch must be compliant with the current Network Infrastructure STIG. (Cat I impact)

Discussion

If the network facing components of a network attached KVM switch are not in compliance with the Network Infrastructure STIG the KVM switch could expose the network to vulnerabilities that could lead to a denial of service caused by the disruption of the network or a compromise of sensitive data.

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.
