The VMM must prohibit the use or connection of unauthorized hardware components.

Hardware components provide the foundation for organizational systems and the platform for the execution of authorized software programs. Managing the inventory of hardware components and controlling which hardware components are permitted to be installed or connected to organizational systems is essential to provide adequate security.

Verify the VMM is configured to prohibit the use or connection of unauthorized hardware components.

If the VMM is not configured to prohibit the use or connection of unauthorized hardware components, this is a finding.

Configure the VMM to prohibit the use or connection of unauthorized hardware components.
