Implementing Unified Capabilities (UC) soft clients as the primary voice endpoint must have authorizing official (AO) approval.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The AO responsible for the implementation of a voice system that uses UC soft clients for its endpoints must be made aware of the risks and benefits. In addition, the commander of an organization whose mission depends on such a telephone system must also be made aware and provide approval. When UC soft clients are fielded as the primary endpoint, the risk of unavailability is high compared to dedicated instruments. Another major difficulty for UC soft clients deployed on laptops is providing accurate location information for emergency services. When emergency services are called from the laptop, if it is not at the location entered in the Automated Location Identification (ALI) database, emergency services may be dispatched to the wrong place.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
