NIST SP 800-53 (controls) 5.2.0 against 5.2.0
All changes in this version
unchanged SI part of SI-14

Title

Non-persistent Connectivity

Control

Establish connections to the system on demand and terminate connections after [Selection: completion of a request; a period of non-use].

Discussion

Persistent connections to systems can provide advanced adversaries with paths to move laterally through systems and potentially position themselves closer to high value assets. Limiting the availability of such connections impedes the adversary’s ability to move freely through organizational systems.

Parameters

si-14.03_odp: [completion of a request; a period of non-use]
