Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Ensures only authenticated endpoints can access the communication channel, blocking unauthorized non-endpoint access.
Physically restricts transmission channels so they cannot be accessed or tapped by non-endpoint actors within facilities.
Periodic TSCM surveys identify unauthorized access points or taps that make communication channels reachable by non-endpoint adversaries.
Explicitly isolates the communications path so it cannot be accessed or intercepted by non-endpoint entities during security functions.
Restrictions and channel controls reduce the chance that VoIP media or signaling streams remain accessible to non-participants.
Directly prevents non-endpoint access or interception of the session communication path.
An out-of-band channel is inaccessible to non-endpoints that can observe or interfere with the primary communication channel.
The control restricts an inherently broadcast wireless channel to only intended endpoints, mitigating accessibility by non-endpoints.
