If several PAWs are set up in virtual machines (VMs) on a host server, domain administrative accounts used to manage high-value IT resources must not have access to the VM host operating system (OS) (only domain administrative accounts designated to manage PAWs should be able to access the VM host OS).
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>The VM host OS should be protected from high-value IT resource administrators accidently or deliberately modifying the security settings of the host OS. Therefore, high-value IT resource administrators must not have the ability to perform maintenance functions on the VM host OS platform.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
