VMMs handling data requiring "data at rest" protections must employ cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure of the information at rest.
Selection of a cryptographic mechanism is based on the need to protect the integrity of organizational information. The strength of the mechanism is commensurate with the security category and/or classification of the information.
Verify the VMM implements cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure of all information at rest on all VMM components.
If it does not, this is a finding.
Configure the VMM to implement cryptographic mechanisms to prevent unauthorized disclosure of all information at rest on all VMM components.
