Description
When A/B switches are cascaded it is difficult to verify that the currently selected connection is the correct selection. When A/B switches are used with ISs of differing classification levels this can lead to the compromis of sensitive data. When A/B switches are attached to ISs of different classification levels the IAO or SA will ensure that A/B switches are not cascaded.
