Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are conducted by individuals who communicate through either an external or internal network. Communications paths can be logically separated using encryption.
Verify the DBMS is configured to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths. If the DBMS is not configured to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths, this is a finding.
Configure the DBMS to protect nonlocal maintenance sessions by separating the maintenance session from other network sessions with the system by logically separated communications paths.
