  • Forescout must use FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms for authentication to a cryptographic module.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Unapproved mechanisms used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not validated and therefore cannot be relied up...

    Group
  • Forescout must terminate all network connections associated with a device management session at the end of the session, or the session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity except to fulfill documented and validated mission requirements.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take c...
