The F5 BIG-IP must ensure SSH is disabled for root user logon to prevent remote access using the root account.
Description
Discussion Text
The F5 BIG-IP shell must be locked down to limit the ability to modify the configuration through the shell. Preventing attackers from remotely accessing management functions using root account mitigates the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain superuser access to information or privileges. Additionally, the audit records for actions taken using the group account will not identify the specific person who took the actions.
