Forescout that stores device keys must have a key management process that is FIPS-approved and protected by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher algorithms. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.
Forescout that stores device keys must have a key management process that is FIPS-approved and protected by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher algorithms. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1. An XCCDF Rule
Forescout that stores device keys must have a key management process that is FIPS-approved and protected by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher algorithms. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.
High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The NAC that stores secret or private keys must use FIPS-approved key management technology and processes in the production and control of private/secret cryptographic keys. Private key data is used to prove that the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the authorized device and gain access to the network.
Private key data associated with software certificates, including those issued to a NAC, are required to be generated and protected in at least a FIPS 140-2 Level 1-validated cryptographic module.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
