Information Assurance - KVM Switch Use of Hot-Keys on SIPRNet Connected Devices
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Use of "Hot Keys" for switching between devices relies on use of software to separate and switch between the devices. Unless software use involves an approved Cross Domain Solution (CDS) it can result in the loss or compromise of classified information from low side devices to those devices on the high side. Only physical switching between devices can assure that information will not be exchanged.
