The Horizon Agent must audit clipboard actions for PCoIP.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Data loss prevention is a primary concern for the DoD, maintaining positive control of data at all times and only allowing flows over channels that are for that explicit purpose and monitored appropriately. By default, the PCoIP protocol on the Horizon Agent will block clipboard "copy/paste" actions from the desktop to the client but allow actions from the client to the desktop. All such allowed actions must be audited for potential future forensic purposes.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
