[IP]; Interview the IAO and validate compliance with the following requirement: Ensure remote access ports, protocols, and services used for VTC system/device “Remote Control/Management/Configuration” are disabled, turned off, or removed if not required in the specific implementation of the device. Determine what ports, protocols, and services are required for in the specific implementation of the device. Have the SA demonstrate the device configuration regarding these protocols or independently validate that only the required ports, protocols, and services are active. Validation can be performed by performing a scan of the network and management interface of the system/device. This is a finding if it is determined that there are ports, protocols, and services active that are not needed for the specific implementation of the device.
