Assessment Title
Rule Text
Mainframe Products must implement cryptographic mechanisms to protect the confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic communications.
Description
Discussion Text
Privileged access contains control and configuration information which is particularly sensitive, so additional protections are necessary. This is maintained by using cryptographic mechanisms to protect confidentiality.
Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the Internet) or an internal network. Local maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities carried out by individuals physically present at the information system or information system component and not communicating across a network connection.
The application can meet this requirement through leveraging a cryptographic module.
