Description
To prevent unauthorized connection of devices, unauthorized transfer of information, or unauthorized tunneling (i.e., embedding of data types within data types), organizations must disable unused or unnecessary physical and logical ports/protocols on information systems. This option connects to a user verification server at Forescout infrastructure used for verification of customer profiles and must not be used in DoD. If accidentally checked, this must error out.
