RHEL-10-200561 - RHEL 10 must have the USBGuard package enabled.

Information

The USBGuard-daemon is the main component of the USBGuard software framework. It runs as a service in the background and enforces the USB device authorization policy for all USB devices. The policy is defined by a set of rules using a rule language described in the "usbguard-rules.conf" file. The policy and the authorization state of USB devices can be modified during runtime using the USBGuard tool.

The system administrator (SA) must work with the site information system security officer (ISSO) to determine a list of authorized peripherals and establish rules within the USBGuard software framework to allow only authorized devices.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000378-GPOS-00163, SRG-OS-000690-GPOS-00140

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to have the USBGuard service enabled by running the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now usbguard
