Forescout must enforce access restrictions associated with changes to the firmware, OS, USB port, and console port.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Changes to the hardware or software components of the network device can have significant effects on the overall security of the network. Therefore, only qualified and authorized individuals must be allowed administrative access to the network device for implementing any changes or upgrades. This requirement applies to updates of the application files, configuration, ACLs, and policy filters. There is a USB port and a console RJ45 port. The Console port is secured by the CLI security configuration. The USB port is only accessible via the CLI, not the web manager tool. The user will be prompted to see if it should be turned on. It is off by default and requires authorized login from the CLI.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
