| If a network attached KVM switch is attached to a network of a different classification level than the ISs attached to the KVM switch, this could lead to a compromise of sensitive data either on the network or on the ISs. The ISSO will ensure network attached KVM switches are only connected to a network at the same classification level as the ISs attached. |
