Use physical (possession, locks) or cryptographic (encrypted file system) means to maintain continuous
control.
Unauthorized Agents
The managed machine administrator must not allow unauthorized Agents to run, even when the Agent is
an authentic one.
An Agent can be installed using an authentic installation kit, but still not be authorized to return data. For
example, it can be a nonadministrator's private Agent. Whenever possible, only one Agent should be
installed per managed machine, and it should be the authorized Agent.
Restricting Access to Machine Configuration
The Agent depends on the integrity of settings in system configuration files, the Windows Registry, and
the UNIX/etc directory. These settings activate the Agent and grant it access to infrastructure services like
networking and domain name services (DNS), as well as access to the data sources and files from which
the Agent collects data. These settings must be protected from unauthorized modification.
Local Administrator Account
Nonadministrator users of a managed machine must not be allowed to log in as the local machine
administrator and bypass access controls. Apply one of the following safeguards:
n
Disable the local administrator account.
n
Set the local administrator account password to a strong, nondefault value.
BIOS Password
Enable and set the BIOS password of a managed machine to a strong, nondefault value.
nonadministrator users of a managed machine must not be allowed access to the BIOS and its ability to
change the system time, enable or disable hardware, or start up into maintenance mode or alternative
operating systems.
Disabling Alternative Startup
In the BIOS, configure the managed machine to start up only from the managed operating system. Do not
present the user with multiple startup operating system options.
nonadministrator users of a managed machine must not be allowed to bypass file system access controls
by starting up into an alternative operating system.
Maintenance Mode
In the BIOS, set the maintenance mode (single-user mode) password of a managed machine to a strong,
nondefault value.
nonadministrator users of a managed machine must not be allowed to bypass file system access controls
by entering maintenance mode.
