Discussion

Call home services will routinely send data such as configuration and diagnostic information to the vendor for routine or emergency analysis and troubleshooting. There is a risk that transmission of sensitive data sent to unauthorized persons could result in data loss or downtime due to an attack.

Check Content

Verify the call home service is disabled on the device.

If a call home service is enabled, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the network device to disable the call home service or feature.
