Check Content

1. In the Trend Micro SMS, navigate to "Profiles" and "Inspection Profiles" and select the organization's profile. 2. If there is not one configured, select "Default". 3. Click "Edit Details". Ensure the deployment mode of "default" is selected. The default deployment mode ensures all strict DoD vulnerabilities are blocked and alerted upon. 4. Navigate to "Profile Overview" and ensure the action set for each category is set to "Recommended". The recommended action set is set to ensure all suspicious and vulnerable traffic is blocked and alerted upon. If the "default" deployment mode is not configured, this is a finding. Note: If the site has set up a security profile (i.e., not using the default profile), then this should be inspected using the site's SSP for compliance.
