V-32703 WIR-MOS-iOS-65-05 SV-43049r1_rule ECWN-1 Low
Description
In some environments, the risk of OTA provisioning may outweigh any convenience benefit it offers. In addition, some OTA mechanisms do not provide appropriate authentication and cryptographic integrity measures. In such cases, the administrator should have the ability to disable OTA provisioning to ensure secure breaches do not occur from use of this technique.
