Forescout must use TLS 1.2, at a minimum, to protect the confidentiality of information passed between the endpoint agent and Forescout for the purposes of client posture assessment. This is required for compliance with C2C Step 1.

Details

Check Text (C-233332r811414_chk)

If DoD is not at C2C Step 1 or higher, this is not a finding. Verify Forescout is configured to a list of DoD-approved certificate types and CAs. Verify the TLS session is configured to automatically terminate any session if the client does not have a suitable certificate. For TLS connections, if Forescout is not configured to use TLS 1.2 at a minimum, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-36492r803481_fix)

Configure the SecureConnector to ensure the minimum supported TLS version is set to TLS 1.2. Log on to the Forescout UI. 1. Select Tools >> Options >> Certificates. 2. Check the Ongoing TLS Sessions section, view the Re-verify TLS Sessions. 3. Change the Re-verify TLS Sessions to Every 1 Day or in accordance with the site's SSP, then click "Apply". 4. Next, select the HPS Inspection Engine >> SecureConnector. 5. In the Client-Server Connection, ensure the Minimum Supported TLS Version is set to TLS version 1.2.
