IP-based VTC systems implementing a single CODEC that support conferences on multiple networks with different classification levels must sanitize nonvolatile memory while transitioning between networks by overwriting all configurable parameters with null settings before reconfiguring the CODEC for connection to the next network.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>A factory reset is the software restoration of an electronic device to its original system state by erasing all information stored on the device to restore the device to its original factory or unconfigured settings. This erases all data, settings, and applications that were previously on the device. Factory reset may be used as part of the sanitization process. This requirement is satisfied by the use of either a properly configured automated configuration management system or an inherent sanitization capability of the unit. However, this requirement results in a CAT III finding if a manual procedure is used.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure
Obtain a VTC system that has an automated sanitization capability.
Implement and document a procedure that uses this capability to sanitize the CODEC when transitioning between networks.
As a last resort, implement and document a manual sanitization/reconfiguration procedure to perform this function.
