Assessment Title
Rule Text
The system must enable bidirectional CHAP authentication for iSCSI traffic.
Description
Discussion Text
When enabled, vSphere performs bidirectional authentication of both the iSCSI target and host. There is a potential for a MiTM attack, when not authenticating both the iSCSI target and host, in which an attacker might impersonate either side of the connection to steal data. Bidirectional authentication mitigates this risk.
