Title

The Unified Communications Session Manager must be configured to disable non-essential capabilities. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

It is detrimental for Unified Communications Session Managers to provide, or enable by default, functionality exceeding requirements or mission objectives. These unnecessary capabilities or services are often overlooked and therefore may remain unsecured. They increase the risk to the platform by providing additional attack vectors. Unified Communications Session Managers are capable of providing a wide variety of functions and services. Some of the functions and services, provided by default, may not be necessary to support essential organizational operations (e.g., key missions, functions).
