Information

The system administrator must have the capability to configure VPN access to meet organization-specific policies based on mission needs. Otherwise, a user could inadvertently or maliciously set up a VPN and connect to a network that poses unacceptable risk to DOD information systems. An adversary could exploit vulnerabilities created by the weaker configuration to compromise DOD sensitive information.

SFR ID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #3

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

If a third-party unmanaged VPN app is installed on the iOS 26 device, do not configure the VPN app with a DOD network VPN profile.
