The container platform must prohibit or restrict the use of protocols that transmit unencrypted authentication information or use flawed cryptographic algorithms for transmission.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>The use of secure ports, protocols and services within the container platform must be controlled and conform to the PPSM CAL. Those ports, protocols, and services that fall outside the PPSM CAL must be blocked by the runtime. Instructions on the PPSM can be found in DoD Instruction 8551.01 Policy. Unsecure protocols for transmission will expose the information system data and information, making the session susceptible to manipulation, hijacking, and man-in-the middle attacks.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
