Discussion

Without confidentiality protection mechanisms, unauthorized individuals may gain access to sensitive information via a remote access session. Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are activities conducted by individuals communicating through either an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network.

Check Content

Validate the container platform web management tools and Application Program Interfaces (API) are configured to use FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithms to protect the confidentiality of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions. 

If the web management tools and API are not configured to use FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithms, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the container platform web management tools and Application Program Interfaces (API) with FIPS-validated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cipher block algorithm to protect the confidentiality of maintenance and diagnostic communications for nonlocal maintenance sessions.
