IBM Aspera Console interactive session must be terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity for non-privileged and privileged sessions.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Terminating an idle session within a short time period reduces the window of opportunity for unauthorized personnel to take control of a management session enabled on the console or console port that has been left unattended. In addition, quickly terminating an idle session will also free up resources committed by the managed network element. Satisfies: SRG-NET-000213-ALG-000107, SRG-NET-000517-ALG-000006
