| Description |
|---|
| An A/B switch not found on the Approved KVM and A/B Switch lists has not been tested to verify that it does not leak data between systems. This can lead to the compromise of sensitive data or the compromise of the ISs attached to the A/B switch. The organization will ensure that only approved KVM or A/B switches are used with ISs of differing classification levels. |
