Description
Discussion Text
If unsecured protocols (lacking cryptographic mechanisms) are used for sessions, the contents of those sessions will be susceptible to eavesdropping, potentially putting sensitive data (including administrator passwords) at risk of compromise and potentially allowing hijacking of maintenance sessions.
When JITC mode is enabled, it also enables FIPS mode is also automatically enabled. However, this requirement focuses only on the use of FIPS validated encryption algorithms and protocols.
