Title

The system must notify the user when a Bluetooth device attempts to connect.

Control

This is NA if the system does not have Bluetooth, or if Bluetooth is turned off per the organizations policy. Search for "Bluetooth". View Bluetooth Settings. Select "More Bluetooth Options" If "Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect" is not checked, this is a finding.

Discussion

If not configured properly, Bluetooth may allow rogue devices to communicate with a system. If a rogue device is paired with a system, there is potential for sensitive information to be compromised.
