SOL-11.1-060080 - The operating system must employ cryptographic mechanisms to recognize changes to information during transmission unless otherwise protected by alternative physical measures.

Information

Ensuring that transmitted information is not altered during transmission requires the operating system take feasible measures to employ transmission layer security. This requirement applies to communications across internal and external networks.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

All remote sessions must be conducted via SSH and IPsec. Ensure that SSH and IPsec are the only protocols used.
