For endpoints that require automated remediation, Forescout must be configured to redirect endpoints to a logically separate network segment for remediation services. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 4.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>Automated and manual procedures for remediation for critical security updates will be managed differently. Continuing to assess and remediate endpoints with risks that could endanger the network could impact network usage for all users. This isolation prevents traffic from flowing with traffic from endpoints that have been fully assessed and authorized. Unauthenticated devices must not be allowed to connect to remediation services. Forescout accepts only endpoints with IP addresses that are in range. Configure Forescout to identify the endpoint. By default the IP address is used as the endpoint identifier. The system can be configured to capture the following other endpoint unique identifiers if approved for use by the SSP as the identification method: BIOS Serial number and other hardcoded attributes, OS host name, etc.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
