The UEM server must, when a component failure is detected, activate an organization-defined alarm and/or automatically shut down the application or the component.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Predictable failure prevention requires organizational planning to address system failure issues. If components key to maintaining systems security fail to function, the system could continue operating in an insecure state. The organization must be prepared and the application must support requirements that specify if the application must alarm for such conditions and/or automatically shut down the application or the system. This can include conducting a graceful application shutdown to avoid losing information. Automatic or manual transfer of components from standby to active mode can occur, for example, upon detection of component failures.
