Description |
---|
To prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. This option connects to a user verification server at Forescout infrastructure used for verification of customer profiles and must not be used in DoD. If accidentally checked, this must error out. |
