EDGE-00-000063 Use of the QUIC protocol must be disabled.

Maps to CM-7 via CCI-000381

Title

Use of the QUIC protocol must be disabled.

Control

The policy value for "Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Microsoft Edge/Allow QUIC protocol" must be set to "Disabled". Use the Windows Registry Editor to navigate to the following key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge If the value for "QuicAllowed" is not set to "REG_DWORD = 0", this is a finding.

Discussion

QUIC is used by more than half of all connections from the Edge web browser to Google's servers, and this activity is undesirable in the DoD. If you enable this policy or don't configure it, the QUIC protocol is allowed. If you disable this policy, the QUIC protocol is blocked.
