PCI (Payment Card Industry Security Standard)
Do not use vendor-supplied defaults for system passwords and other security measures
Test 2.3
2.3 Select a sample of system components and verify that non-console administrative access is encrypted by performing the following:
If non-console (including remote) administration does not use secure authentication and encrypted communications sensitive administrative or operational level information (like administrator’s IDs and passwords) can be revealed to an eavesdropper. A malicious individual could use this information to access the network become administrator and steal data. Clear-text protocols (such as HTTP telnet etc.) do not encrypt traffic or logon details making it easy for an eavesdropper to intercept this information. To be considered “strong cryptography” industryrecognized protocols with appropriate key strengths and key management should be in place as applicable for the type of technology in use. (Refer to “strong cryptography” in the PCI DSS and PA-DSS Glossary of Terms Abbreviations and Acronyms and industry standards and best practices such as NIST SP 800-52 and SP 800-57 OWASP etc.)
