Rule version NMGR-4X-000098 · STIG v1 · 2024-12-13

Discussion

SNMPv3 supports commercial-grade security, including authentication, authorization, access control, and privacy. Previous versions of the protocol contained well-known security weaknesses that were easily exploited. As such, SNMPv1/2 receivers must be disabled.

Check
