All applicable STIGs have NOT been applied to the VVoIP / unified communications core infrastructure assets.
Description
Discussion Text
For the purpose of this requirement a VVoIP server is any server directly supporting the communications service. Unlike a regular PC or print server on the network VVoIP servers are "mission critical" to the operation of the VoIP system. Some vendors provide IP Telephony services on their own proprietary systems while others provided these services on standard UNIX, Linux, and Microsoft Windows based systems. They may also use general-purpose applications such as databases like MS-SQL or Oracle and/or employ web server technology like IIS or similar as well as open source software. Additionally, application security guidance may be applicable for the vendor's application that makes the server or device perform the functions, or the management, of the system.
Hardening these general purpose applications and operating systems against the much inherent vulnerabilities found in them is critical to securing the VVoIP core infrastructure, to include their installed applications. Doing so is vital to protecting the VoIP environment from malicious attack. The specific VVoIP system server or device determines the applicability of any given STIG.
UNIX and Microsoft Windows based systems. Most known vulnerabilities exist on UNIX and Windows based operating systems. They may also use general-purpose applications such as databases like MS-SQL or Oracle and/or employ web server technology like IIS or similar. Additionally, application security guidance may be applicable for the vendor's application that makes the server or device perform the functions, or the management, of the system. Therefore, the securing of these voice processing and signaling platforms, to include their installed applications, is vital in protecting the VoIP environment from malicious attack. The specific VoIP system server or device determines the applicability of any given STIG.
