Title
The network device must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
Failure to provide logical access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration may have significant effects on the overall security of the system. When dealing with access restrictions pertaining to change control, it should be noted that any changes to the hardware, software, and/or firmware components of the device can potentially have significant effects on the overall security of the device. Accordingly, only qualified and authorized individuals should be allowed to obtain access to device components for the purposes of initiating changes, including upgrades and modifications. Logical access restrictions include, for example, controls that restrict access to workflow automation, media libraries, abstract layers (e.g., changes implemented into third-party interfaces rather than directly into information systems), and change windows (e.g., changes occur only during specified times, making unauthorized changes easy to discover).
Check Content
Determine if the network device enforces access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration. If the network device does not enforce such access restrictions, this is a finding.
Fix Text
Configure the network device to enforce access restrictions associated with changes to device configuration.
