Use of an insecure channel - Cloud Infrastructure

Use of an insecure channel - Cloud Infrastructure

Description

Insecure communications medium and channels require application data protection in transit.

Impact

- Authenticate and compromise communications channels between the client and the server.
- Compromise sensitive information that travels in plain text.

Recommendation

- Enable secure cipher suites and encryption protocols.
- Encryption and data integrity authentication are important for protecting the communications channel.
- It is equally important to authenticate the identity of the remote end of the connection.

Threat

Anonymous attacker from adjacent network performing a MitM attack

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 90 minutes.
