Rule version TANS-00-000755 · STIG v2 · 2021-12-20

Discussion

In certain situations, the nature of the vulnerability scanning may be more intrusive, or the information system component that is the subject of the scanning may contain highly sensitive information. Privileged access authorization to selected system components facilitates more thorough vulnerability scanning and also protects the sensitive nature of such scanning.

The vulnerability scanning application must utilize privileged access authorization for the scanning account.
