End-user platforms are directly attached to the Fibre Channel network or access storage devices directly.
Low Severity
<VulnDiscussion>End-user platforms should only be connected to servers that run applications that access the data found on the SAN devices. SANs do not supply a robust user identification and authentication platform. They depend on the servers and applications to authenticate the users and restrict access to users as required. The IAO/NSO will ensure that end-user platforms are not directly attached to the Fibre Channel network and may not access storage devices directly.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts>End-user platforms attached to the SAN may be dependent upon the SAN for storage.
