1 Rule
The Enterprise System Connection (ESCON) Director (ESCD) Application Console must be located in a secure location
High Severity
The ESCD Application Console is used to add, change, and delete port configurations and dynamically switch paths between devices. If the ESCON Director Application Console is not located in a secured location, unauthorized personnel can bypass security, access the system, and alter the environment. This could impact the integrity and confidentiality of operations. NOTE: Many newer installations no longer support the ESCD Application Console. For installations not supporting the ESCD Application Console, this check is not applicable.
